Spectacle Arrival: New Oliver Peoples Sheldrake Frames!

Spectacle has some all new Oliver Peoples Sheldrake frames in store for you!  The Sheldrake collection has been described by Oliver Peoples' founder Larry Leight as a style that captures the "essence and foundation of the company and my designs".

The Sheldrake in bright, colourful shades including Green crystal

The Sheldrake in Pink Crystal

Inspired by Andy Warhol, the Sheldrake is a very popular frame.  Like all Oliver Peoples eyewear, the Sheldrake collection is all designed and hand-made in Japan.  Also like all Oliver Peoples, these frames have no visible logo and therefore are perfect for those who want the focus to be on the style rather than brand of their glasses or shades.

Andy Warhol was the inspiration behind the Sheldrake!

The Sheldrake frame has also been worn by a huge range of celebrities!  Anyone from Jessica Alba to Johnny Depp have been spotted wearing the Sheldrake.

The new frames are available at the Queen St. location, so come by and take a look!

Harry Lary and Thierry Lasry: Bright, Fun Style

Harry Lary's is a brand which was founded by Harry Lasry and has been taken over by his son, Thierry Lasry.  All of the frames are handmade in France.

"Diversity" in colour 633 adds a splash of pink, purple, and orange hues

"Ceremony" frame in a bright yellow shade

The brand is driven by creativity and uniqueness and it really shows through their frame designs.  Another cool aspect of Harry Lary's collections is that it relies solely on its appearance to stir interest as it does not offer a visible logo anywhere when wearing the glasses.  With a heavy focus on coloured patterns and bright hues, Harry Lary's 2012 collection is perfect for Spring and Summer.  If you are the type who enjoys making a bold statement with your eyewear, Harry Lary may be the perfect brand for you!

"Shooty" in black with colour splatter pattern

"Primitivy" in black -- even Harry Lary's solid frames are bold and unique!

Harry Lary's fun, fresh take on eyewear frames makes it one of the prominent leaders in stand-out glasses and shades.  Thierry Lasry also has his own line of sunglasses which includes more bold prints and interesting frame textures.  Thierry's frames are also handmade in France.

"Adultry" creates a textured look and is very modern with more feminine lenses

"Agony" in an ivory style -- much like "Adultry" it also has a textured look on the top half of the frames

Thierry hopes to create futuristic frames and lenses with a vintage touch, and he really captures this style throughout his collections.

"Annalinny" in a colour-splatter style

"Sexxxy" in dark blue makes a bold statement and is a stunning look
