Spec Espace collection is coming next week.


Can it be true?

After a year of basically waiting in line, Spectacles for Humans is scheduled to receive the first selection from one of Japan's most intriguing and complicated brands - Spec Espace.
Spec Espace, the name refers to the space between your specs and your face, (mark you the name on that electronic calendars of yours) is gonna rock the world of anyone who is truly in love with eyewear design.





There are simply too many details to describe and we will wait for collection to arrive to go deep. But one thing you should know right away, the quality here borders on phantasmagorical. Employing some of the best craftsmen in Japan, Katsuhiro-san ( dude in white jumper) and his pals are designing fresh and exciting styles with ease and finesse. With their guidance, in the hands of a skilled artisan, a simple plastic frame becomes true work of art.

Back to blogging

Trunk shows at Spectacles for Humans are always fun, but a small collective we are and it takes us time to recover from the onslaught we go through. With the week after the show being especially strenuous, when we are processing orders and cleaning up our own feathers, we have absolutely no time to devote to blogging. Hope you understand and forgive. Everyone needs a break, even staunch workaholics like us. You too can probably use some fresh air...Step outside, enjoy the sun, and even better, put on your cool sunnies and take your honey on a nice drive. There is not much left of Summer, so enjoy!

The week of ORGREEN OPTICS

We are so ready to host our Danish friends from Orgreen Optics. New styles are arriving Wednesday and Henrik and Sahra are set to make a landing at SFO on Thursday afternoon. Excitement is in the air and we promise, everyone will have a great time.

After preview of new shapes all we can say they are spectacular! We believe Orgreen Optics is at that stage of their existence when they cannot do no wrong. Like that dude Phelps in Beijing.
While other design outfits exhaust their resources by year 6, Orgreen team is showing no signs of talent depletion going on their 11th year.
All three collections will see stunning additions this season and we invite you to see it this weekend, only at Spectacles for Humans. To put it simply, there is no better way to explore the world of Orgreen Optics than with Henrik Orgreen showing you the way.

San Francisco Chronicle's Bay List

It looks like Spectacles for Humans has been nominated for SF Bay List.
