We’re very proud to carry eyewear and sunglasses from:
“I'm so shy now I wear sunglasses everywhere I go.”
AL PACINO
“It’s not what you look at the matters, it’s what you see.”
HENRY DAVID THOREAU
“I’ve always been attracted to unusual eyewear. I thought glasses were an interesting accessory, depending on the shape of your face. People would always ask me, “Why are your frames so large?” And I would say, “The bigger to see you!” And that shut them up.”
IRIS APFEL
“With my sunglasses on, I’m Jack Nicholson. Without them, I’m fat and 60.”
JACK NICHOLSON
“My sunglasses are like my guitar.”
PATTI SMITH
“Sometimes you just have to bite your upper lip and put sunglasses on.”
BOB DYLAN
“I think the eyes flirt the most. There are so many ways to use them.”
ANNA HELD
“Change the way you look at things and the things you look at change."
