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!

La Loop is very popular and is sold in over 16 countries.  La Loops are made from the highest quality materials including sterling silver, real wood, even fresh water pearls, shells from New Zealand, and leather from Northern Italy!

Amazing New, Exclusive Oliver Peoples x SoloIst Frames Available Now at Spectacle!

Spectacle got some new exclusive Oliver Peoples x Takahiro Miyashita The SoloIst Two frames in and they are a stunning collaboration.  The frames are recognized for artistic tailoring of layers, contrasting materials, and distinctive aged effects.

The frames come in a variety of two classic colour combinations

 

The finished product is a masterpiece of old and new - truly a vintage look inspired by other vintage looks!  The rivet nose pad and pad arm have been recreated to reflect high quality eyewear of the 20s and 30s.  They are also available in both optical and Sun!

The collaboration also features sunglasses, such as the Teardrop

The frames are unique in that they have a mirror lens between two glass lenses to eliminate scratching to the mirror.  Japanese designer Miyashita, who has always been inspired by Oliver Peoples, said "this collaboration is going to be a new standard... I am very honoured and grateful for the result".  We couldn't agree more!

The new collaboration is available now at Spectacle!

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".

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.
