Friends at M.A.D.E in Denmark say they are ready to ship. Dudes only took 2 months to carve 6 sets of frames from endangered species of wood for us. If you are into design, their stuff is deranged, demented and capricious ... Genius!!!!!!!!!!

ALEKPAUL eyewear is coming!
Yes, it looks like it is going to be here first week of January. I am for one looking forward to receiving the frames as I honestly don't remember what we ordered; the only thing I recall was an amazing quality of acetate and vibrancy of colors. Another thing I remember is the fact that all AlekPaul frames go through more 100 manual stages during production, which is insane... and that is exactly why we are getting them.

Orgreen Trunk Show
After more than a month of coordination and preparations, we finally held our first trunk show and it was just so fitting to start with ORGREEN OPTICS.
The show was a tremendous success and we worked late into the night taking orders and pouring Champagne.
The amazing response ORGREEN frames are receiving with our customers is proof of just how brilliant Orgreen designs are. We sold 12 Orgreen frames and everyone who bought a pair was a delight to deal with.
Giant thanks to Rene, Orgreen's West Coast man, for being such a great sport and helping us run the shop and manage the crowds.
Special thanks to Kim from "Cupcakes by Kim", whose Italian Butterscotch cupcakes and Curry brownies were gorgeous and delicious and helped us sweetened the deal.
Thanks to all new Orgreen customers for showing support and seeing the originality of Orgreen designs. Hold on just a little bit longer folks. We've already ordered your frames and will be receiving them very shortly!

Orgreen ~Orgreen~ Orgreen
Saturday December 16th
Orgreen Optics Trunk Show is tomorrow!
See all this brilliant Danish design team has to offer.
Only at Spectacles for Humans. Be there.
Meyer Eyewear update
Out of 9 Reindeer horn sets we've received just a month ago, 5 are gone. So are 2 sets with Buffalo horn.
All went to nice homes and that's really important to me. All people who bought these frames have high appreciation for life and see these special frames not through utilitarian prism, but as a form of art, which they truly are.
All Reindeer horn temples will have "Rudolph" engraved on the inside... Kawaii!!

Oliver Goldsmith
What do Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly and Michael Caine have in common?
They all had eyewear designed for them by one man - Oliver Goldsmith.
Smart and sassy he-hunters will be shopping at my store? I'd be a damn fool not to stock these frames!! And if that was not enough, running into Claire Goldsmith at the show in Paris very much sealed the deal.
We will be placing the order later this month and expect the first shipment of OG Sunglasses to arrive in February of 2007.
To view the Collection, please visit Oliver Goldsmith website. Oliver Goldsmith.com
And don't miss the GOGGLES TV ad from 1971 while you're there. It's simply brilliant!!

My new Derome Brenner specs
Huggy 05.
Another awesome frame finds its way into my eyewear harem. My personal collection consists of approximately 20 frames, 5 of which I wear on regular basis and although my preferences lie primarily with metal frames(due to rather large, European style olfactory apparatus), I absolutely love the way acetate frames feel. Sadly, to find one with perfect fit is close to impossible.
Short story long, I finally got one that fits like a glove and looks fantastic. And not just on me, but also on its own, as an art and design piece.
New style is from masters of acetate, French designers Derome Brenner, and it's one of their newest models from Huggy Collection - Huggy 05 in Brown/Turquoise. Hand-made from high quality acetate, this frame is 6 mm, even 9 in places, and feels massive and substantial yet it is not one bit heavy. The shape, based on relaxed 70's lines and aided by the warmth of earthy colors, offers comfortable fit and a very friendly "my place or your's" kind of look.
I don't how many layers of acetate (I counted at least 12) exactly these guys laminated together in this frame, but the effect is stunning. Matt brown, black, transparent amber, more brown, again black and again amber! When you see it in such impressive thickness, you really can appreciate the beauty of material and it makes you wonder... How much acetate did it take to put this piece together?
Check out the details and other colors below.
Huggy 05 in Ivory/Beige/Black and Black/Purple/Red.
Temple detail.
As with all handmade frames, details may vary slightly. My particular frame, for instance, has a small horizontal cut out on the bridge. The other two colors don't...Oops!
Oliver Goldsmith: "You can't subsitute the quality and feel of a handmade frame."
New Martin & Martin frames are coming tomorrow!
Looks like the package just cleared customs and is on its way to us.
You just can't beat German efficiency, can you? I just talked to Martin last Thursday...
