Spectacle Loves Cutler and Gross Sunglasses

Head of Design for Cutler and Gross, Marie Wilkinson offers her top picks for this Spring. To nobodies surprise these frames can already be found on the shelves of Spectacle West Queen West.

Here is what Marie had to say about some of her recent models...............

I always return to Italian movies from the 50's and 60's if I need inspiration on the most stylish of glasses,

Model 1000 is THE unisex aviator of the season! The temples have the trademark Cutler and Gross leather sleeves, perfect as spring sunglasses

Also, this season sees the return of smaller and more lightweight sunglasses with model 1008 in any color.

Darren and Mike took a few minutes out from their daily routine of looking good and helping people with their eyewear conundrums to show off the frames mentioned above....

Thanks for the tips Marie, Spectacle Loves You

Spectacle Loves Orgreen!

When you can combine performance with an undeniable cool factor, you know you're on to something big. And Danish design house Orgreen has been at the top of their game when it comes to pushing conventions in fashion eyewear to the limit...Spectacle loves that kind of attitude!

Orgreen - Speedster

Famous for clean lines, and a flair for geometry many models artfully combine brilliant colours with soft muted tones to create shapes that, like the "Speedster," feel like you're taking a spin in a classic corvette.

Some of their newest pieces have a bit more of a personal touch with a splash of acetate combined with the robust titanium. Models like the "Edna" in vibrant purple will help your eyewear wardrobe walk the line between elegant modernity and retro chic.

Orgreen - Edna

Orgreen - Gregory

Roll into your local Spectacle Location and see which Orgreen you'd like to take for a ride!
