VELVET CRUSH

A hint of velvet is the perfect accent as the master of mysteriously enchanting fashion party allure tones and tunes what might otherwise be a very solid men’s eyewear shape into sultry she-glamour. And the blue makes it a perfect hue.

Bon Voyáge with Vera on a classic opti-journey taking in all the “sights” from shape to color.

What Have You Tortoise So Far?

… That no zyl coloration dominates eyewear with better swagger and style than HAVANA. And it does so by reason of its all-encompassing ability to suit most any face, any style and any opti-situation. It is the instance of color honored by virtually ANY brand.

Blue Men

Want a man in your life? Sing the BLUES. And it always helps if you whisper a declaration of tortoise near his ear.

… as in… Black Tortoise. Why? B Cause. Who? B C B G.

20/20 Vision

Hanging out with John Varvatos for the March 2013 cover story totally rocked. We learned a ton about how to rock-in-style. And we “think” JV noted a thing or few about thinking “clearly” when it comes to delivering P3 minimalism at its best.

Stored in the Cloud

With its creamy crystal fade, softly pillowed cateye shape and secretive “let’s party” temples, this gal-spec has it in SPADES. So many identi-brand notes in this perfect tune.

Pillow Talk

The cateye has found its perfect comfy zone in the distinctly feminine realm of soft pillow shaping.

Elementary School

Consider these materials: Wood and crystal zyl. Graduate to these heights of style: An overtly-sized P3 hinge AND nose marked by deep metal engraving. In eyewear, THIS is perfect Grammar.

Always the Correct Anne-Sir

This distinctly derived men’s shape (often dubbed the “Clark Kent” in these opti-pages) is invigorated with a uniquely feminine color trick that takes a blue/gray crystal into a cloudy, tortoise fade.
