Customer of the Week!

Written by on January 26th 2014

Hey all you optical enthusiasts! It’s that time again. We must pay homage to our new Customer of the Week: Alison!!

Alison came in thinking she wanted the exact same style frame she already had ; a tortoise/green round plastic frame that bordered on the conservative side; a reliable companion since she had long since left beind hard contacts. But with the finesse and guidance of our new optician, Siobhan, Allison was able to expand her mind.

Suddenly, her eyes fell upon these turquoise Theo “James” frames. She jokingly tried them on thinking: “Oh these will look absolutely ridicuously on me” …but was immediatly posessed by the magic of these beatiful specs. Obviously this was a match made in heaven! We’re SO glad that Alison AND her husband love these frames as much as we do!

Check out our new Customer of the Week: JOHN!!

John is a pretty laid back guy. He’s also apparently a self proclaimed “THEO snob.” (According to our research, he’s the owner of 3 pairs of these Belgian beauties.)

So it was no surprise to us when he chose these hot  THEO Dillinger’s in electric blue to adorn that wonderfully bearded face! These THEO’s are from their newest Spring 2014 collection, so we had to special order these titanium from Belgium. They are so exclusive, we don’t even have them in the store yet!  THEO definitely loves you, John…and we do too!

Say hello to our Customer of the Week: Debbie!!

Debbie is sporting the super hot Theo Huitante+ Sept. With their awesome pink and orange sherbet color, these frames are perfect for Debbie’s summer look!!

Debbie travelled to Eye Spy from the western suburbs in order to find glasses that she could not find anywhere else! And…it just so happened that our fabulous Theo eyewear rep was in-store when Debbie stopped in. As a result, Debbie got to try-on tons of colors and shapes. We have three color combinations of this frame in-stock, but Debbie fell in love with this color…so we ordered it for her and received it in two weeks. It takes time to get frames from Belgium!

Congratulations on your Customer of the Week status Debbie!!

Chris came in looking for a change and boy o’ boy did he get one! Chris went from a simple silver stainless steel IC Berlin frame to this handsome Theo Capone frame.

Written by on February 7th 2013

We have a new lady in the house! Join us in welcoming Adrienne, our new Optical Chanteuse!! We are stoked to have another curly-haired gal join the team!

ROCKIN’ THE VISIONARY FRAME BY RVS

We asked Adrienne a few questions just so everyone could get to know her a little better before you let her pick out your new dreamy glasses.

What catches your wee eye at Eye Spy?
Um…. the rad ladies I now get to work with. Seriously.

What is your favorite thing in the entire world?
CHOCOLATE!  It makes everything okay.

If your house was on fire what would you save?
My Cat, Ophelia, my phone….and my Lucky brand boots.

What is your fave role you played?  (Side Note: Adrienne is an actress, in case you didn’t catch that.) 
Jenny Diver, from Three Penny Opera.

Why make the move to Chicago?
Wanted to live in a big city that wasn’t too big. I wanted to be surrounded by arts and culture.

What do you do in your free time?
If I am not in a show…..usually trying to catch up on some quality Hulu time with my man.

 

Adrienne is currently obsessed with the Visionary frame by RVS. We can’t wait for everyone to meet our brand-spankin’ new optician. Come on in and let her sing you a song.

New Year. New Line. Welcome RVS by V.

Written by on January 15th 2013

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.

Our customers of the week are this adorable couple, Pamela and Mark! Check out how awesome they look in their new snazzy glasses. Pamela is wearing the brand new Theo Fourteen frames, and Mark is styling in his Lafont Albert frames!

Both Pamela and Mark have been loyal Eye Spy customers for 10 years! They are both long-time fans of Theo and Lafont…and like to get one conservative pair and one funky pair.
