| Milo from NYC has absolutely exceeded the brief: check out that backdrop - what better for what is probably the most famous sunglasses of all time, Ray-Ban's Wayfarer. First made in 1953, this pair probably made about 10 years later, marked B&L Ray-Ban USA and fitted with B&L's G15 (pre-etched) glass lenses. |

| Zoe, also from New York City, bought some great 70's sunglasses by Correna of France and had them fitted with her own lenses. Then she celebrated by taking them to fabulous Las Vegas for the weekend. Translucent shaded amber plastic frame marked Correna. |

| Devin from California, like Milo above, wanted some classics and is keeping out that west coast sunshine in a black pair of Wayfarers. This pair made around the early 80's. Black plastic frame marked B&L RAY-BAN USA and fitted with the original B&L G15 glass lenses etched with the BL logo. |

| Matt told us that in Beverly Hills you need a pair to protect you from that LA haze so he went for this 70's pair with our favourite lenses, Carl Zeiss. 1970's translucent shaded brown plastic frame by MARWITZ (GERMANY) marked Bouira. Fittted with Zeiss 65's (65% abs) lenses etched with CZ logo. |

|
| David from London needed some new frames and wanted something large....what better than these Oliver Goldsmith Zooks? They date from around 1970 and we know this because they were the frame of choice that year for none other, Michael Caine. Tortoiseshell plastic frame marked Oliver Goldsmith France. |
|
| Fay from Wales was given these fabulous 1950's shell-pink Tura sunglasses by her beau, Colin, who when he saw her in them while on holiday in Rome, immediately proposed! (Here's Fay the next day in the grounds of the Constantine Museum - she accepted and they marry in May.) Pink aluminium frame by Tura, USA. Fitted with original grey glass lenses. |
|
| Judith from Dallas is on her third pair of black Ted Lapidus sunglasses....despite taking very good care of each one, the years took their toll. Judith was distraught when she found out TL was not making them any more....but was thrilled to find us! Here she is showing them off to the Prez. Black plastic/gold metal marked TED LAPIDUS PARIS MADE IN FRANCE TL0706. Fitted with original graduated acrylic lenses. |
