“Spotted” at SPECS OPTICAL

Published on July 5, 2010 in SPECS NEWS. Closed Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , .

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.

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.

TRUNK SHOW

AV 1—Wednesday February 3rd, 2010—LaLoop 5 Noon to 7pm

All of us at Specs Optical are excited to announce that Elizabeth Faraut of LaLoop and Gabriel Gestin of Anne et Valentin will be here with their entire collections on display!

It is an extremely rare occasion that the entire Anne et Valentin collection will be available for viewing outside their own family run shop in Toulouse, South of France. Anne et Valentin frames are all-at-once clean, colorful, sculptural, vibrant, and unique. It is not uncommon to hear us describe them as “show-stoppers.” The right Anne et Valentin piece will compliment and accentuate your identity…a style all your own.

And after you pick out your beautiful new Anne et Valentin specs, why not compliment them with a handmade LaLoop. Designer Elizabeth Faraut created LaLoop out of necessity as an alternate to old-fashioned granny leashes (you know…the ones the dangle to either side of the face). LaLoop, worn as a necklace, is a must-have for anybody wearing sunglasses, multiple pairs, readers, etc.. If there is always a place for your specs, you won’t lose them, right? Sterling silver, gold, and bronze loops are paired with leather, shell, horn and tortoise acetates, semi-precious stones, and wood. Styles range from clean and simple to downright couture and have been prominently featured in Cosmo, Allure, Instyle, and Elle…to name a few.
