It’s been a hectic few weeks, but there are LOTS of new frames coming!

There’s 1950’s USA made Artcraft & AO, 1980’s & 1990’s designers like Gucci, Burberrys of London, Dior, Terri Brogan, a metric ton of Y2K wild styles & SO MUCH MORE! Lots of Italian, French and Japanese made frames.

I’ll also be adding the ability to customize lenses and POSSIBLY some in person shopping!
