We couldn’t wait to
share our excitement for the Claire & Oliver Goldsmith trunk show we will be having in May!
In 1926, Philip Oliver Goldsmith revolutionized how sunglasses were being made. At a time when cumbersome frames were being made from expensive metals and tortoiseshell, he started fashioning frames from brightly coloured acetates. Sunglasses became not only a way to protect your eyes from the sun, but thanks to Goldsmith…they also became a fashion statement!
Icons such as Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly, and Michael Cain adored them and the name Goldsmith became synonymous with stars and style.
I’ll give you the lowdown on Claire Goldsmith next week, you can drool over these iconic photographs in the meantime, ha!

Celebrate Mom’s Day with us on Saturday from 11 AM-5 PM! We will be having an Oliver and Claire Goldsmith Trunk Show…as well as massages, mimosas and munchies, just for mom!
Do you need to get a present for mom, but can’t figure out what to get her? Or maybe she wants to get you a present! Lucky duck! Our rep from two of our vintage-inspiried collections, Claire Goldsmith and Oliver Goldsmith, will be on-hand. In her trunks, she will have of glasses upon glasses in every shape in color…and sunglasses that will make anyone look like a movie star! On Saturday only from 11-5 PM.
Claire Goldsmith is the debut collection of vintage-inspired frames from the great-granddaughter of the iconic eyewear designer Oliver Goldsmith. For three generations, Oliver Goldsmith combined beautiful materials, acetates and hinges with simple and classic style, to create some of the most iconic eyewear in the world. Claire re-established the company in 2005 after a 20 year hiatus, to continue the legacy of the Goldsmith family.
Oliver Goldsmith has been a family-run business for over 80 years. Originally, dress designers approached Goldsmith to create frames to complement their collections. Grace Kelly, Michael Caine, Peter Sellers, Nina Simone and Audrey Hepburn made OG synonymous with stars and style. The rest is history. Now you can get your mum a pair of OG sunglasses and make her look like a star too;-)
Our massage therapist, Adreana Maurer, will be giving powerful back massages from 12-3 PM. In order to relax before your massage, have a mimosa or two…
See you soon!

Spring has sprung and it’s time to start those outdoor projects, but don’t forget to wear your sunglasses! Wearing sunglasses provides benefits beyond the obvious comfort and looking even cooler than you already are. A good pair of sunglasses blocks 100% of the sun’s UV rays. Why is this important? The eyelids are the second most likely spot to get skin cancer and exposure to UV rays is a proven cause of skin cancer. Pterygin, a non-malignant but vision threatening growth on the cornea, is another harmful effect of UV exposure.
But, wait…there’s more!
The acceleration of the onset of cataracts and macular degeneration are caused by the accumulated exposure of UV throughout your life.
So now you have all the excuses you need to get yourself a fantastic pair of sunglasses!
Cheers,
Dr. Brad

“I don’t believe in those theories about a certain style suiting a certain shape of face. Life is too short to worry about such things. If you find a shape you like, have it.”
-Oliver Goldsmith, 1969
