| Davide, from Surrey (UK), was so impressed that he could still find an original 1980's B&L Ray-Ban Wayfarer, that he bought two - one in black and the other in tortoise. He couldn't model them both, so he asked his wife Marcia to help him out. Too bad Brazil were as unimpressive as England in the World Cup! |

| "Greetings from West Palm Beach. I had these exact Vuarnet sunglasses for 20+ years and broke them before Christmas 2005. I had searched far and wide without luck trying to replace them. Your site is great site, terrific communication and fast fast delivery. This picture is the best BeBe and I could take. Not sure which of us is uglier. Many thanks! Steve." |

| Richard, a regular customer from Florida, recently bought some 50's American Optical shades, but before he did, he sent us this photo of him in a previous purchase, the 1980's B&L Ray-Ban Clubmaster, which as you can see, being a combination frame, has a very 50's feel about it. That Florida sunshine really agrees with Rich!. |
|
| 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. |
|
| Andreas from Stockhom, Sweden wanted some quality lenses and went no further than this cool 80's pair from Zeiss. Translucent green plastic frame marked ZEISS WEST GERMANY and model nunmber 8110 1958. Original CARL ZEISS Umbral 85 lenses etched w/CZ logo. |
|
| 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. |
|
| Lauretta from Georgia needed something to shield her from all that southern sunshine when reclining on her pride and joy: her '62 Mercury Comet. She found this late 40's/early 50's pair by English company, Twinco. Translucent shaded gold plastic frame and dark brown glass lenses. |
|
| 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. |

|
| Does this Cool Customer look familiar? He should - it's Oliver from London back for another purchase. This time he's opted for one of the best men's pairs we've had: the 1960's Sunliter from US Polaroid. Smooth aluminium frame shaded gold, rimless Polaroid lenses. (Sept, 2004) |
|
| Paul from London asked if we had any Elvis types in stock so we showed him a selection. He went for this classic shape with the Grand Prix slotted arms. Frame marked FRANCE. Neutral Polaroid lenses. |
