As the days get longer and the temperature rises, the parks and patios beckon; and what better to go with a picnic or pint than a great pair of sunglasses? We have a wide selection of new and vintage frames to suit any budget or prescription and protect your eyes from the sunnydaze of spring.
Ray-Ban
One of the most recognizable makers around, we carry both new and vintage Ray Bans in a great many styles including: Aviator, Wayfarer, Clubmaster, Gatsby, and Justin (yes, that Justin). Frames start at $180.00 plus lenses in a number of colours and finishes.
This pair of vintage Ray-Ban Gatsby Style 4’s goes for $420.00 plus lenses.
Persol
We have a variety of Persol frames — again, both new and vintage — but perhaps none more recognizable than Persol 714 SM: The Steve McQueen Special Edition ($495.00 to $540.00 plus lenses).
“This folding 714 model, and in particular the version with the light havana frame and crystal blue lenses, Steve McQueen™ discovered an accessory that went on to accompany him on set but also in his private life, renowned for his love for bikes and racing cars.
Confident and refined, the model reflects the rebellious character of the actor, someone who loved to take risks and boasted an inimitable style. Persol celebrates this elective affinity with a Special Edition: the Persol 714 SM pays tribute to the timeless hero, Steve McQueen™.”

Vuarnet
You may not be a member of the French Olympic Downhill Ski Team, but don’t let that stop you from finding a great pair of vintage Vuarnet frames. We have a variety of styles and colours available starting at $195.00 plus lenses.
Yellows Plus
Yellows Plus are one of our most popular contemporary makers. We recently received an abundance of sunglass styles, including the Eric – which retails for $395.00 plus lenses.

Oliver Peoples
“Inspired by Andy Warhol, the Sheldrake is a bold, intellectual design offering timeless style.” (from Oliver Peoples) OP offers a wide variety of unisex, masculine- and feminine-cut designs. The Sheldrake is one such unisex design for faces of all shapes.
Lens Options

Polarized: Polarized lenses protect your eyes from UV rays while also reducing glare. Double trouble!
