March of the Orgreens!

For fans of sleek and sexy titanium eyewear, we've got the style and attitude you've been looking for at Spectacle on Yonge Street!

Denmark-based design house Orgreen has built their reputation on vibrant colours and lightweight but exceptionally durable frames. From glossy polished colours to matte earth tones, the Orgreen collection includes laser-cut detailing and acetate combinations that have defined this dynamic line.

The all-titanium construction makes this men's shape, the Angus, both lightweight and tough as nails.

Taking design inspiration from sleek and fast fighter planes and racecars, Orgreen lives to help you kick your look into high-gear!

The "York," pictured here gives you the heavy, bold look of an acetate frame but maintains a light-weight, comfortable fit. Other pieces that feature unique acetate patterns include the Cornelius and the Storm.

The Hellcat is one of Orgreen's most distinct ladies frames, sexy and available in a wide range of colours it's a great example that a feminine frame doesn't always have to be the ol' fashion cat's eye!

All these shapes are in stock now at Spectacle on Yonge Street, north of Fairlawn Ave. Follow our obsession with Orgreen in our previous blogs here, and here!

The Distillery x S+arck = Awesome

Spectacle has been in love with S+arck Eyes, the collaborative effort between Alain Mikli and Philippe Starck since its inception.

In fact we may have blogged about this love one or two times.

Really, who could blame us though, with their well documented bio hinge and sleek design this collection is a favourite of both our stylists and clients.

Our Distillery District boutique just got a refresh of some models from Mr S+arck so if you are in the area stop by and check them out. Don't worry if you are closer to our Yonge or Queen St stores they have 'em too because Spectacle Loves You

Queen St Loves Lindberg Sun

Eric and Kira two of the stylish stylists at our 752 Queen St W flagship took a few minutes out of their uber busy day to model the Lindberg sun collection for you.

Made up of the same durable titanium and super light weight acetates as the regular Lindberg collection but with amazing Zeiss sun lenses these shades are as awesome in their construction as their appearance.

The Lindberg Sun collection is available at Spectacle Queen St and the regular Lindbergs are available at all three of our locations because Spectacle Loves You

Rolf Coming Soon To Spectacle

Our owner Jag has returned from another one of his top secret buying trips with news that we are adding another member to the Spectacle Family.

Rolf Eyewear out of Austria will be coming to us before you know it. In the meantime check out this teaser video below that includes a pretty awesome vintage Mercedes Benz.

ROLF Spectacles presents a Runimation Studio Production from ROLF Spectacles on Vimeo.

Featuring hand crafted wooden frames and a screw-less hinge system we can't wait to get our hands on this collection.

Thanks Mr Rolf, Spectacle Loves You

The Distillery Loves Gucci

Still the number one selling sunglass brand in the world today, we thought we would take a minute to show some love to our favorite Gucci models currently on the shelves of Spectacle


Like they say in the song, "Its Gucci Time!!"

Gucci 3155/S The details on this beauty are exquisite, a raised metalic bridge follows the elegant lines of the acetate, in a wonderful up-sweep. Total Glam.

Gucci 1622/S A modern classic and part of the Gucci Eyeweb sub collection that they launched last season. These over-sized sunnies are as fun as they are stylish.

Gucci 3119/S This shape looks fab on almost everyone, the subtle Gucci logo and playful color schemes (hidden pinks and background blues accent certain models) make it a go to for serious collectors as well as someone looking for an "everyday piece"

This season our Gucci collection is on display at our Distillery District boutique, conveniently located in building 53 at 55 Mill St because Spectacle Loves You
