We are so pumped to welcome RVS by V into our little Eye Spy family of awesome eyewear. RVS is a line unlike any other, and the very first eyewear company to be based out of Istanbul, Turkey. The line started in 2006 and is going strong with a beautiful selection of matte colors. Each frame is hand made and fits right in to their vision for “quality eyewear built to last a lifetime.”
Vidal Erkohen, founder of RVS, started in eyewear by supplying eyewear boutiques, runway shows and some celebrities with vintage eyewear. Erkohen then founded RVS with the goal of bringing back the originality and quality of vintage eyewear.
We are over the moon with his collection and the wide range of matte colors the frames come in! Here is just a few samples of what our new line looks like.

Welcome to the first full week of 2013! We are so excited to ring in the new year with our very first Customer of the Week…Jessi! Jessi is jumping for joy in her new Anni Shades Glimpse frames! She looks awesome in the kelly green with the pop of yellow sandwiched in-between.
Jessi will be showing off her new frames at her new job as a Librarian! (It’s hard not to have the Music Man song go though your head. “ Marian…..Madam Librarian“). So, she’s a little excited!? New job, new city…. off to a good start Jessi!
Check out the Anni Shades Glimpse frame below. It’s the same shape as Jessi’s, but its natural cocobolo color is shining through with a red inlay peeking out to say hello. Or maybe you have been wondering how to combine your love of wooden frames with your favorite color: orange. Look no further…
Do you love these two pairs, but want to make your own color combo? The nice guys at Anni Shades will create a custom piece for you…right here in the Midwest.
Anywho…thanks for being our very first customer of the week for 2013, Jessi! You look great!
Note: The number 13 is our Queen of Specs’ lucky number, so this will *definitely* be Eye Spy’s lucky year!

Our Customer of the Week is Lael!
Lael and his wife Eugenie have been coming to Eye Spy for almost ten years! Eugenie has always had a love of funky eyewear, but it took a bit of persuading to get Lael on board. A couple of years ago, Lael decided to take the plunge…he was jealous that his wife always got all the compliments. Once he bought his first fun pair, he kept coming back for more! Now, Lael and his wife are the talk of the town!!!
You rock Lael…and you are our Customer of the Week!
P.S. This is Eugenie. She is a hard act to follow!!

For the third trunk show of the month we’ve got Theo, on November 17th from 11-5pm! You will be able to view and try-on hundreds of Theo frames from the new 2013 collection.
In 1989, Theo introduced its ground-breaking collection in Belgium to offer their clients glasses that were definitely not mainstream. Now, Theos appeal to a wider audience, but they still have a soft spot for the individualist.

This is your one and only chance to see every color and every shape available in the current collections. We carry a majority of each collection, but we do not have room to stock the entire collection of each line. If you have been looking for the perfect pair or have something specific in mind, this is the time to come in to Eye Spy. You will be like a kid in a candy shop!!Trunk shows are NOT sales…they are exclusive events where the sales rep from each line brings his or her samples for all to try-on. Every sample that the rep has, will be in the store for the weekend only. The shows are open to the public on Saturdays from 11-5 PM...and BY APPOINTMENT only on Sundays.
Oh, and did we mention that these trunk shows will be showcasing the 2013 collections that are not in any stores yet? The only drawback is: you might have to wait a few weeks or a few months to receive your frames….but it will be worth it!! See you soon:-)
