Eye Do So Declare: OUR Eyewear has arrived in all of its optical heritage regalia. These are specs sans fashion designers and lifestyle branding. This is eyewear for eyewear’s sake.No excuses. No popular culture support system of selling. OUR time has come. OUR Eyewear declares its Independence… And for independents that’s a resounding “SEE! SEE!” situation.

Morel certainly does. In fact, with this particular collection they practically wrote the book on perfect man specs with clean, modern lines, attuned accents and confident colorations.

Eyewear OWNS the concept of layered colorations, and nothing demonstrates that mastery better than this Moscot success of lightening the look of a thick and powerful spec statement.

Striation Nation
The impact of color literally multi-flexes and super-soars when the uniquely optical
design element of striation is added to the mix. “I love your blue eyewear.” “I love your black eyewear.” “I love your gray eyewear.” You get THIS picture.
