More Reasons to Love our Favorite Berlin Design House!

Fresh off their recent award-winning appearance at the Silmo Optical Show, I.C. Berlin is riding high with a few new surprises and you can bet Spectacle has got em!

Famous for their light-weight stainless steel construction, each frame is laser cut and assembled without any bolts or solder points. And some of their latest specs have taken that laser cutting even further with unique patterns now etched right onto the steel frames.

Alpenrose

Männertreu

The Alpenrose and Männertreu each feature patterns on the fronts and temples, contrasting the polished steel with finely detailed textures.

Indomptable

Even their luxurious Trés Chic Sunglass Collection features this unique laser-etched styling.

Take a closer look and you can make out the snowflakes across the front of the Alpenrose.

The horizontal pinstripes on the Männertreu contrast the polished finish and in different light have an almost matte appearance.

Sunglasses like the Indomptable show off a range of organic textures like spiderwebs and cracked leather.

These and other classic I.C.Berlin shapes are in stock at Spectacle on Yonge Street as well as our Queen Street and Distillery District locations because Spectacle Loves You!

And for highlights of their award-winning Sunglass check out the Power Law here and some of our other favs here!

March of the Orgreens!

For fans of sleek and sexy titanium eyewear, we've got the style and attitude you've been looking for at Spectacle on Yonge Street!

Denmark-based design house Orgreen has built their reputation on vibrant colours and lightweight but exceptionally durable frames. From glossy polished colours to matte earth tones, the Orgreen collection includes laser-cut detailing and acetate combinations that have defined this dynamic line.

The all-titanium construction makes this men's shape, the Angus, both lightweight and tough as nails.

Taking design inspiration from sleek and fast fighter planes and racecars, Orgreen lives to help you kick your look into high-gear!

The "York," pictured here gives you the heavy, bold look of an acetate frame but maintains a light-weight, comfortable fit. Other pieces that feature unique acetate patterns include the Cornelius and the Storm.

The Hellcat is one of Orgreen's most distinct ladies frames, sexy and available in a wide range of colours it's a great example that a feminine frame doesn't always have to be the ol' fashion cat's eye!

All these shapes are in stock now at Spectacle on Yonge Street, north of Fairlawn Ave. Follow our obsession with Orgreen in our previous blogs here, and here!

S+ARCK's Move into their new Yonge Street Condo!

Spectacle on Yonge street has just unveiled a cozy new display for our collection of Starck frames, and they're making some of the other collections jealous with their swanky new digs!

One of the first, high profile collaborations in the eyewear world, Designer Philippe Starck lends his engineering prowess to eyewear legend Alain Mikli's custom Acetate colours and comfortable fit.

With the addition of the Starck BioLink hinge design, based on the human shoulder joint, the result is STARCK EYES, a line of eyewear unparalleled in comfort, durability and spectacular colours - and that's why Spectacle loves Starck Eyes!

The 0302 model, shown in red and bronze variants, is a semi-rimless design made from titanium and acetate. With it's softer-shaped browline, the 0302 is one of many flattering ladies shapes in the Starck Eyes collection.

The polished metal 0404 sunglass is built for comfort both with it's light weight frame and dark polarized lenses.

Sleek lines and matte finish of the 0404 set it apart from the crowd. Here you can see the temple posed at a 45 degree angle, with the Bio-Link hinge design that temple can rotate 360 degrees without stressing the frame.
