Who will be spotted in this THEO sun glass?
Would you dare to be spotted in your THEO?
I dare you!
Have you been spotted at Specs Optical? As you can see Kelly was spotted.
On June 28th you may have spotted Rama, of RAMASSIA in our shop. Ramassia is one of our distributors. Rama and his wife Assia, help us keep Kirk Originals, Theo and Anne et Valentin on our shelves. Rama is the son of Anne and Valentin. He took time out of his busy schedule to visit and show us some of the goods he reps. We were treated to a terrific dinner at La Chaya Bistro.
Maybe you spotted Renee Kraft, Tracy Terbell, Matt Braun, Bonnie Breeding, the Queen of England, Salvador Dali, or did you spot Elvis? You just never know who you will spot.
Shouldn’t you be spotted? Maybe in sunglasses by Tim Van Steenbergen, maybe a new Kirk Originals. Really, shouldn’t you be spotted in something by Specs Optical.
This months issue of Mpls St.Paul Magazines ” Best of the Summer Guide” features one of our favorite eyeglass collections, Kirk Originals. You can find it on page 37 along with other must haves for your summer. Go to mspmag.com to view online.
The piece that is featured is from the Saturn Collection and is called the Grace in color 1003. The surface
shines in coloured crystals while the interior is an
explosion of glitter. Jason Kirk says,
” Its how they make you feel inside”.
Ride in on your rocket ship and check out all the
collections from Kirk Originals.
SPECS OPTICAL loves the charming international designers, whose eyewear collections grace our store. While John Oliva and Nancy Krant were in Milan (Italy) attending MIDO, the International Eyewear Exhibition (Optics, Ophthalmology, Optometry), they had a chance to catch up with some of the designers who create the hand-crafted, limited-production eyeglasses and sunglasses that we love and carry at SPECS.

Specs Optical will be celebrating it’s 25th Anniversary this month. We are very proud of this milestone. There have been two sets of owners ( Dave Spencer pre 1995 and Nancy Krant / John Oliva 1995 to current). There have been roughly 30 opticians that have called Specs Optical their home away from home. Of course the current team is the best. Let’s not forget Jack and Emma, Nancy and Johns wonderful Jack Russel’s. Every shop needs a good mascot.
It has been our honor to help all of you that have continued to choose us as your optical shop of choice. There have been too many people to name but we hope you all know who you are. We could not be the optical shop we are if it wasn’t for your confidence and loyalty in us. Thank you.
We hope that in the years to come that we can continue to provide the service and product you have grown to expect from us. We are here to help you see and look your best in our, “Frames from around the World”.
April 23rd was great fun with Jason Kirk of KIRK ORIGINALS. We had a great parade of friends, fans of Kirk Originals, and new guests. It was a blast seeing all of the beautiful glasses Jason and the gang have made. We had good grub, and bountiful beverages.
In the picture I am wearing my new (still on its way) Kirk Original glasses. O.k. Did you notice the amazing shirt I am wearing….oh yea….it is a gift from Jason Kirk, and it is a hand made shirt by Kirk Originals.
Kirk Originals ‘ROCK’, and Jason isn’t half bad.
It is good to be me.

Summer’s a comin’…

Come on by anytime to try these babies on. (They’re not actually babies, they’re sunglasses, silly.) These are just a few of the many super fun, stylish, and most importantly, UV-protective, pieces of new sunwear.
As certified opticians, all of us at Specs Optical are constantly in discussion with our two on-site Optometrists about how to best serve our clients. And now, more than ever, Dr. Madhok and Dr. Buchli are stressing the importance of wearing proper-fitting sunglasses (prescription or not) as a preventative for a bevy (here it is again!) of potential eye health issues.
So give us a call, or stop in, schedule an eye exam appointment, and let one of us fit you up with a striking new pair of sunglasses so you can enjoy this summer right.
Hello friends of Specs Optical.
