Spectacle Loves Village Day!

Yesterday was Village Day in Toronto and the area surrounding the Yonge St. Spectacle was busy with music, families, snow cones, and people looking for great glasses!  Village Day is a yearly event held in the Yonge-Lawrence Village to celebrate the shops, food, and entertainment in the area.

There was no shortage of great BBQs

Spectacle also contributed to the festivities by taking 50% off our sale items that are usually a 40% discount!  We always have amazing eyewear at the Yonge St. shop so come by and take a look.

TAVAT Studio: That's Amore!

We received some pictures from the lovely people at TAVAT of their manufacturing studio near Asolo, Italy.  It is a stunning landscape and we just had to share it with you!

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.

Linda creates extremely fashionable pieces using high quality materials such as horn, leather, metal - even snakeskin!
