Another Brand To Capture Another Spectacles Market
Guess who these spectacles are aimed at?  Rugby players?  Ice hockey stars?  I don’t think so!
Again, from REM Eyewear who we reported yesterday are making glasses with (for? / with their name on, on a commission?) Converse and Lucky Brand Spectacles, as that article.
These ones have some style - I [...]

Spectacles Blog Checks Out Lucky Spectacles Brand
It’s got to be a little bit more interesting if a brand calls itself something Brand and in this case Lucky Brand who came to fame through jeans and then clothing now (of course) make spectacles.  (And Lucky Brand spectacles weren’t even in our 120 name brand designer spectacles when we [...]

The glasses fit him [...]

Italian Spectacles Maker Carraro Tracked Down After Antonio Sighting At Chelsea!
Following yesterday’s Blue Spectacles post, I’ve found the maker of Antonio’s blue spectacles… which wasn’t difficult as my kind source told me the name!
And Antonio is not the first to be proud of his Carraro spectacles (made by the Venetian optician Ottica Carraro): Another fan being [...]

Spectacles Blog Meets Antonio & His Amazing Spectacles
Hob-nobbing it yesterday at The Chelsea Flower Show, I met a fantastic looking Italian in his fantastic looking blue spectacles.  They stood out like a blue performance in being noticed.  Hardly subtle with thick plastic frames in clear blue, oversized and what looked like mightily thick lenses.
Antonio, the Italian [...]

Is It True? Can Sunglasses Fully Hide No Make Up Or A Decent Sized Hangover?
