CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK!!

Written by on March 2nd 2014

Starting off March the only way we know how…WITH A NEW CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK!

Meet Christie!

W_CHRISTIE
Christie had been pining for a pair of glitzy Francis Klein frames with just the right amount of purple and sparkle. After many trials and tribulations, we finally got to the right frame: a customized Francis Klein “Iona” in crystal lavender with pink Swarovski crystal decor…and icy blue temples! We appreciate that she was patient during the grueling process of finding the perfect frame. And we’re so happy she chose these flawless beauties!

G’Day to Niloca…Our New Line!

Written by on January 27th 2014

 

Niloca Pile

We have been waiting (in the freezing cold) for our new line to get here. It sure did take them long enough to get here … perhaps because the goodies came from Australia….or maybe it was a combo of Chiberia and Snowpocalypse. What matters is that  Niloca is here NOW!
With the tag line of “…unsuitable for ubiquitous consumption,” they surely do not disappoint!

 

Greca. Geric. Grandi frames

 

“Niloca has a heart or rather 4.  Niloca is a family operation, quite often based at the kitchen table.  There are no aspirations to appease hipsters or mass market saturation, just the supply of interesting eyewear to select independent optical purveyors for the delight of eyewear individualists everywhere.”

Come in and try-on these dreamboats! Pssssst… we are the only ones in the states that have them! Bam!

Customer of the Week!

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!

Greetings Eye Spyers!!

We have a new Customer of the Week to introduce!

She goes by the name of SHEILA!!

Sheila first chose these beautiful turquoise and red Francis Klein “Risk” frames with red and silver stones and decor. We LOVE what that beautiful blue frame front does for those pretty peepers!! And we had this color combo made just for us…so Sheila is the only lady in world with this frame:-) How cool.

Sheila also couldn’t  walk away from these pink and gray gradiant Rapp “Jane” frames, so she got both! We couldn’t be happier that these unique frames found a perfect home, and that Sheila followed out favorite motto: “If you can’t pick one…pick both!”

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!

We’re starting the new year off right with a new Customer of the Week! Introducing:  Jamie!!

These canary yellow and white MykitaShirley” frames are part of Mykita’s NEW 2014 collection, so we had to special order these bad boys just for Jamie! Ironically enough, Jamie typically goes for our more funky lines (i.e. Theo & Anne et Valentin)….but her husband has been trying to get her in a pair of conservative Mykita frames for a while. Whelp…Mykita came through and brought the funkiness with these bi-colored beauties and VOILÀ!! Common ground was found!

We love everything about these frames and of course Jamie makes these look even more beautiful. You can check out this frame in other colors on Mykita’s website. Just click the link above!

Introducing our newest Customer of the Week: Lyn!!

Our favorite Aussie, Lyn, is one smart cookie! She knows how bright it can get in the winter with all the snow and glare!! So…she had to add these beautiful Oliver Goldsmith Hex sunnies to her collection.

 

In addition to her sunnies, Lyn –after much debate about the color– also decided on these quirky and unique Theo “Coratina” frames. Keep it fabulous, Lyn! Cheers!

 Want to get a closer look at Lyn’s new signature pieces? Here they are….

Customer of the Week

Our customer of the week this week is Rachel! Rachel and Rob sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G. First comes love, then comes marriage…

Finding the perfect pair of glasses can be a challenge. We *all* know this. Finding the pair you love AND will wear on your wedding day can be an added challenge.

When Rachel came through the door that’s exactly the challenge she presented to us:  a dazzling pair of purple glasses that she would  wear to her wedding…and continue to wear afterwards. ( Just a little pressure, it’s no big deal…) After trying on a few frames we found it, her dream frame. This beautiful, two-toned purple Anne et Valentin Dubai frame.


Rachel and her betrothed were married on October 12th at Bryn Mawr Country Club, and she was glowing!

Thanks for the beautiful photos, Rachel, and for letting us help you choose your frame for your day!

Hey Everyone!!

This Customer of the Week is a Two-fer!! Meet: Cathy!!

Caroline Abram “Gaby”

Anne et Valentin “Fanzine”

Cathy just couldn’t decide between the Caroline Abram “Gaby” cat-eyes, and the Anne et Valentin “Fanzine”…so she made the bold (and correct) decision to throw caution to the wind and get’em both! I mean…wouldn’t you?! And she is ROCKING both of these bold styles.

Thanks to Cathy for being our Customer of the Week AND for introducing our Specs Wrangler to Absolutely Fabulous, from the BBC! Patsy had never seen the show….but as soon as Cathy turned Patsy on to AbFab, it was true love!

In case you don’t know about Absolutely Fabulous….or even if you are in the know, check out this fabulous montage…and don’t laugh too hard;-)
