The eyewear is polished and then cut on the top and along the temples again to give the frames a raw feel in these areas while the rest is smooth.  Original and rich in colour, the collection is created to be easy to wear, even in the case of the shy customer who dares not dare.

Linda Farrow began her company with the help of her favourite Optician, who also happens to be her husband.  She was among the first fashion designers to treat eyewear as a fashion accessory rather than simply a requirement.

La Loop: The Must-Have Fashion Accessory for All Eyewear Lovers!

La Loop

We have some brand new La Loop necklace models in at all 3 Spectacle locations!  La Loop was created by designer Elizabeth Faraut based on necessity - she wanted a place to keep her eyewear when not using it that still looked fashionable.  Elizabeth even still travels to trade shows to personally choose gems and stones to be used!
