New Barton Perreira Sunglasses Have Arrived at Spectacle


Brand new Barton Perreira sunglasses are available now at Spectacle.  The new Summer 2013 pieces have unique names with interesting background stories.

The Burroughs in Gold Vintage Brown and Royal

The Burroughs is a new style to Spectacle.  Barton Perreira came up with the name based on the influential Beat Poet of the same title.  The sunglasses' classic round shape with bold lenses make it a stand-out piece of eyewear.

The Libertine in Rose Gold with Cinnabar Polarized lenses

Like The Burroughs, the Libertine also has a significant designation.  The style is called the Libertine inspired by Pete Doherty of the British rock band of the same name.  It is also inspired by The film The Libertine's main character - actor Johnny Depp.

The Libertine in Silver with Poison Ivy Polarized lenses

According to Barton Perreira, "the confident swagger of the Libertine will get you through your misadventures with a minimum of regret and the maximum panache!".  The Burroughs is available now at our Queen St. West boutique and the Libertine will be available soon at our new Distillery District shop!

The Spectacle Guide to Tinted Lenses

Did you know that the colour of your lenses can affect the performance of your daily activities?  It's best to inform yourself on which lenses are well suited for your needs prior to purchasing eyewear.  Don't worry - Spectacle is here to help with our guide to tinted lenses.


Green lenses have numerous benefits.  They help to transmit all colours evenly, dim glare, and brighten shadows. They are perfect lenses for all outdoor activity - rain or shine - and are the original choice of pilots and aviation enthusiasts.


Amber / brown lenses help to improve contrast, even on cloudy days.  They are best for golf, tennis, high-altitude sports, boating, or any other activity where distance needs to be judged.


Blue, purple, and double gradient lenses are also a fashionable option.  They help to reduce glare, enhance contours, and improve colour perception.  These lenses are best for indoor and outdoor arenas and are especially helpful in misty, foggy, and snowy conditions.


Pink and red lenses are very popular this season for both men and women.  They are great at enhancing visual depth, reducing eye strain, and providing clearer road visibility.  They are excellent for snow sports such as skiing and snowboarding and are also perfect for summer activities like cycling.


Whichever lens colour you choose, Spectacle is sure to have the perfect pair of shades for your lifestyle needs - no matter the season.
