Mykita Trunk Show this Saturday!!!

Written by on October 30th 2012

The Mykita trunk show is finally here!  Saturday, November 3rd you will be able to view and try on hundreds of Mykita frames.

Mykita is a small company in the heart of Berlin that has been hand-making eye wear since 2003.  We love their unique patented screw-less hinge design.  Mykita frames are almost indestructible since they are cut out of a thin sheet of surgical stainless steel.   Their acetate (plastic) collection is just as durable with its innovative Metal Injection Molding process.

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. 

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!!

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:-)

The Mykita trunk show is finally here!  Saturday, November 12th you will be able to view and try on hundreds of Mykita frames. 

Mykita is a small company in the heart of Berlin that has been hand-making their eye wear since 2003.  They are successful due to their patented screw-less hinge design.  Mykita frames are almost indestructible since they are cut out of a thin sheet of surgical stainless steel.  The NO2 collection is all plastic, but just as durable with its innovative Metal Injection Moulding process.

Trunk shows are the only way to see the 2012 collections before anyone else! You will get a sneak peek of all of new styles that were shown at the trade show in Paris last month. If you cannot make it into Eye Spy on Saturday, we are having private viewings of the Mykita frames on Sunday…just call for an appointment.


Stay tuned for a posting about the Anne et Valentin trunk show on Saturday, November 19th. Anne et Valentin is known for their colorful, and playful glasses. They are for the person who enjoys wearing their glasses and wants an individualistic look.  As their tagline states, “Delighted to be yourself!” The collection has a large variety of plastic and metal frames for men and women….from tortoise to red to blue.

We are officially open on Mondays from 11am-7pm, now through the end of January. No need for an appointment…just stop on in!!!

Virtually Indestructible

Written by on August 20th 2010
Yesterday, one of our favorite customers came in to Eye Spy with an emergency.
She had run over her ic! berlin Nan frame with her car:

This is after 20 minutes of repair work…
Our Specs Therapist (me) didn’t bat an eye when she saw the twists and bends in the metal.
Our customer had to run to a meeting at work and, while she was away, the Specs Therapist carefully and patiently returned the Nan to her previous glory:

Yaaaaaayyyyy!


Now, the Specs Therapist isn’t going to take all the credit here. You see, ic! berlin makes incredible frames. Absolutely magical frames. That can take just about anything one can throw at them. Really, truly, AWESOME frames. And those lenses? Trivex. Impact resistant, UV protected, and STRONG.
And as a side note, Eye Spy also carries Mykita frames which are just as durable and well-made! The original designers from ic! berlin started Mykita to bring to market a new and improved (!) hinge and designs. Come on by and see them both.

It’s finally here! The August Sunglass Sale is in effect! For the entire month of August every single pair of sunglasses is on sale from 10%-30% off! Come on in and get that frame you’ve been dreaming of!!!
