New Derome Brenner style



C'est moi, actually, modeling a brand new pair of DeromeBrenner's handmade acetate frames - Gob 07 in black, with faded lenses. We try to keep them in stock at our store, but even at $350US, they only stay for few short weeks before they find a good face to adorn.

Gotti suns are here!




For your viewing pleasure, here are few new ultra-sleek styles from a cool Swiss design duo Gotti and Niederer. The one in the middle, model Paul, is handmade from pure titanium and available in three colors: matte black, gold and palladium. The last two are actually 0.5 micron coatings of precious metals and retail for $450US. The company is very successful in Europe, but still small. Not exactly a good combination for us, since North American outlets are last to have their orders filled. Oh, well, better that than selling tired and obnoxiously overextended brands like Prada or Gucci.
