TRUNK SHOW

—Wednesday February 3rd, 2010— 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.

Elizabeth and Gabriel are looking forward to meeting and playing with all of you. If you’d like to make an appointment to sit with one or both of them, please give us a call @ 612.374.2114 or drop us an email. Otherwise, stop by anytime between Noon and 7pm!

Nick Of Lindberg Coming to Specs Optical

Nick Allegri

Rep for LINDBERG Eyewear of Denmark

is coming to Specs Optical

Tuesday, December 8th, from 10am to 6pm.

Many of our clients already know about the spectacular titanium rimless eyewear LINDBERG has been creating for the last two decades. But, did you know that they also handcraft many of their pieces out of 18-carat gold, platinum, diamonds, and buffalo horn? They are called LINDBERG PRECIOUS!

LINDBERG Precious is one of the most prestigious international eyewear collections. The frames are handmade and individually crafted to fit the wearer’s face. Frames are available in 18-carat (750) Greenlandic yellow gold, white gold, red gold, as well as platinum (950), and can be finished with a high polish, matted, or brushed surface. A special hardening process developed by LINDBERG allows the precious metals the right degree of flexibility without compromising resilience or strength.

LINDBERG uses only the highest quality Top Wesselton VVS Diamonds known for their beautiful clarity and colour. Diamonds are brilliant-cut and custom mounted by a LINDBERG goldsmith. Size, quantity, and positioning of the diamonds can vary, allowing each piece to be it’s own work of art.

Natural Water Buffalo Horn temples are connected by 18-carat gold and platinum inlays. Each horn temple boasts variation in depth of colour and markings. Every pair is truly unique.

Come see this collection in person as they are not just eyewear, but pieces of jewelry. Nick will be bringing several designs that we would not ordinarily show in the shop. He will assist you in customizing your very own LINDBERG creation, whether it be from the precious or titanium collection.
