Introducing our Customer of the Week: Penny!
Penny has definitely earned COTW with this fabulous photo, sporting these awesome Theo James 6 frames. In a world full of squares, she is definitely rocking the round specs like a pro!
As you can tell from Penny’s yellow parka, she braved the floods and rain last Thursday to pick up her new glasses. She told us that she loves them so much that she does not want to take them off…even when she goes to sleep!! Now *that* is a glowing review:-)
The James series is a series of frames that Theo’s designer James Van Vossel releases twice a year….and they all have unusual bridges! James noticed that the nosepiece is often quite visible, and he prefers a pure form, without ‘extra weight’. He wanted to design a pair of glasses with integrated nose pads, so without adding anything to the frame. James went to work in his atelier and by trial and error he found a way. Out of one thin metal plate he cut a shape in which he already provided a nosepiece. He then bent the nosepiece backwards. By doing so, there is no frame between the lens and the nose….and you get a design that misses a ‘corner’. While he was experimenting he made a round model, James 6, and a more angular shaped frame, James 5.
Here is a close-up of the James 6, so you can see the bridge detail:
Penny has quite the collection of spectacular eyewear from Eye Spy. Then again its hard NOT to stay trendy when the Queen of Specs herself is part of your family!

Is there a pair of glasses that Zenia doesn’t look good in?! We love that she rocks these bold red Theo frames with confidence.
Zenia has been coming to Eye Spy for over 5 years and boy is she a specs fanatic. She is not afraid of bold color or funky shapes…as you can tell:-)
The Soixante+5 model by Theo is like music to our ears. It is one of 6 pieces in the STHEREO collection. The rivets on each of these acetate glasses take the shape of a PAUSE, STOP and FAST FORWARD button, just like on an iPod, mp3 player or ‘old school’ stereo. The innovative design at Theo is what we love best!
Congrats, Zenia, you are our Customer of the Week!!!
