Chanel CH 4164 at £250/$350
It’s quite unusual that Spectacles Blog likes those megalithic brand offerings because normally they’re fr the rich and not so young - or if young then showy and too brand conscious.  But these look good - here in black but also available in silver or grey-brown.
I’ve no idea what similar shades [...]

Replica Sunglasses How Do They get Away With It?
I can’t remember how I heard about these people - probably an alert for designer sunglasses. But now that I’ve been to see In Style Sunglasses (dotcom), it seems amazing that they get away with it. The D&G replicas which are shown here are $15.50.
The site seems [...]

Who’s Heard Of Theo Lunnettes?
During my “quiet spell” recently, Spectacles Blog has been bombarded with emails about Theo and a sunglasses brand/designer called Tim Van Steenbergen - or is it vice-versa?
The glasses look good but I have to digest all the emails and see what’s what.  I didn’t know that Antwerp was the centre of such [...]

Most Designer Spectacles & Sunglasses Leave Spectacles Blog Unimpressed But…

 … I saw these and I thought “now at least they were worth designing”.  Other wise I have to say (though it won’t do me any good) that most designer glasses are unremarkable - they are either something else slightly different or something else slightly different with a [...]

Sunny Smile Sunglasses
This is Philip in his Raybans.  Don’t ask me what model or for any details… What do you think I am - an expert or one of the cognoscenti?
I just thought that as he looked so happy and comfortable in them, that he should have his photo taken in them for Spectacles Blog…
He knew [...]

Spectacles Blog Spots Sunglasses Fashion Fascism…
Out and about yesterday, Spectacles Blog was on the South Bank in London (in my clip-on sunglasses of course) and what should I see in the window of an office on the embankment (Sainsbury’s magazine I think)?  This sign clearly displayed for the benefit of passers by in their sunglasses or otherwise…
It [...]

SunDog Eyewear at London Golf Show
We’ve mentioned Sun Dog a couple of times before (See Spectacles Blog) and also in connection with Paula creamer the golf/fashion sensation…  Well I was at the London Golf Show the other day and met briefly with the  people on the stand and they said that Terry would be in [...]

Specs World Has All Gone German
A lot of Spectacles Blog news recently has been about glasses, lenses and fashion eyewear from Germany.  Why is that?  These pictures come from the Berlin Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week which the German capital hopes will help establish it as a fashion power.
Not that this is news in the “new” sense.  I’m afraid [...]

Just For The Glasses Picture…
 I don’t normally just put pictures up without comment but I have no recollection of from where this comes.  All I know is that it’s kate Hudson and she’s wearing shades and she looks good.
Any more writing from me would just be filling space…
PS I just couldn’t bear to know so little [...]

The Irrestible Rise of Luxottica & Sunglass Hut
According to Business World Manilla Sunglasses Hut is open in The Philippines.  The “franchise concept with over 2,000 stores in 20 countries”, launched in Manila last month. “Given its penchant for high-traffic shopping and tourist destinations, the first Sunglass Hut store in Manila is found at the Resorts World Manila [...]
