Stephen from Northhants also visited our stall at Old Spitalfields Market and found this 1980's frame by
Anglo American into which he asked us to fit his lenses. And Stephen very kindly sent us his photo in front
of his1960's S2. I bet you're jealous! But don't worry, we might find another frame like this again, just keep
checking the web site. Nice Bentley, too. Thanks, Stephen!

Tony from London asked us to bring this 1950's pair from the website (by Imperial, USA,
original grey
glass lenses) down to our Sunday stall to try on. As you can see, it suited him fine, he bought it
immediately and posed for a photo. Cheers, Tony. (May, 2014)

Regular customer Amy from Cambridgeshire (see earlier photo on these pages) this time went for a
Nylon Supra cat-eye from Michael Birch. Perhaps Amy was tempted by Birch's name for this pair,
Mischief, one of his most popular designs. Said Amy, "I love my new glasses!"

Company Director Nicola from London needed some reading glasses with gravitas to reflect her position
in industry and went for this classy 1960's aluminium half-eye from US company, Liberty. Says Nicola,
"Here's a pic with me wearing the bronze half moons which i just love. They are really comfy as well."
Glad you like them, Nicola.

Steve from Pembrokeshire, Wales is a collector of old Ray-Bans and bought these Outdoorsmans from us
recently. Said Steve, "The Sunglasses were superb, thank you. I've included a pic for the 'Happy Wall' as the
10% discount will be handy for a pair of Bans I've got my my eye on - sorry that was an unintended pun...."
And he did just that, buying a 60's Ray-Ban the very next day. Enjoy, Steve.

John from Hertfordshire, England got this early 70's combination frame and lenses from our stall at Old
Spitalfields Market xmas twenty-ten - and then came back two years later for another pair - but not before he'd
taken his first pair on holiday to the continent. Great to see you again, John. And thanks for the photo.

Kiki from Sweden bought these YSL frames from our stall at Old Spitalfields Market a few years ago, but we'll let
her tell you: "Hi Klasik, I've meant to send you a photo of my glasses I bought from you in 2007!! But I just haven't
gotten around to it. Since I bought another pair, in 2009 I think but I don't use them DAILY as I do these. I'm a
BEYOND happy customer!" Great to hear from you, Kiki! (Jan. 2013)

Timothy from Vancouver, Canada has been a regular customer over the years - and here he is in the Greek Isles
in the first pair he bought from us, the 1960's Ray-Ban Plainsman, here in Amber with the original BAUSCH &
LOMB green glass lenses. He has bought a few since, but this remains his favourite. We can see why, Tim -
they look great!

Andrew from Weybridge, UK bought a classic 1960's Rodenstock Mentone and asked for it to be fitted with
some prescription sun lenses. Great choice, Andrew, who has kindly sent us his photo relaxing on his lawn -
and for all our American friends, yes, we all live like this!

Johnny from Göteburg, Sweden loves his American Optical Everglades so much, he's asked us to tell him
when we get another in as he wants a spare. We know what you mean, Johnny - once you have tried the 60's
classics, you just want more! Don't worry, we'll let you know.

Here is Alan from Sunderland, UK by the River Wear next to Durham Cathedral. We realise it is a picturesque
scene but we also understand that you can't take your eyes off his 1940's/50's Windsor frame by Algha that we
fitted with our Klasik Brown mineral glass lenses. Nice Tootal scarf too, Alan!

Here is Martin from Leigh-on-Sea again - (see below). He was so impressed with his web site purchase, he took
a trip to London a few Sundays ago to visit our stall. Of course he was spoilt for choice, but pounced on these
crystal NHS frames from the 60's. Then he took them snowboarding in Norway! Too cool for words, Martin!
|
|
James from London is a tall guy and need a large frame - he found a perfect fit in this late 60's/early 70's pair
from Spanish makers, Barbudo. We happily fitted James' lenses and he kindly sent us his photo. Good choice,
James!

Sólon from São Paulo need some cool sunglasses to wear driving in all that Brazilian sunshine and went for these
English 1950's Algha frames fitted with our Klasik G15 mineral glass lenses. Now he is okay to keep the top down
in his fabulous 1960's Shelby AC Cobra. Says Sólon : "Thanks my friend. Few days ago I received my sunglasses,
very nice!!! Now I got photos with my Cobra and the Sunglasses, good combination. Hope you can use it in your
site gallery." Our pleasure, Sólon!

This is Wild Evel from Austria. He bought this 1960's Rodenstock frame from us at our Sunday stall at Old
Spitalfields Market here in London. Wow - great look Wild! (If you also like Wild's look, check out his bands
The Staggers and
Wild Evel and the Trashbones.

Martin from Leigh-on-Sea, UK went for class and purchased this classic timeless pair: Danté, by Oliver
Goldsmith. Although made in the 1960's, it looks like it could have been made this season. And where better
to wear such sunglasses royalty - the Trooping of the Colour...oh, okay, it was just the rehearsal. But this was
no doubt the better weather day.

Both Aaron and his brother, Mat are some of our best and most long-standing customers from Los Angeles.
This is Aaron in a pair of tortoise Ray-Ban Wayfarer II's that were a present from Mat. (If you want to see the
magnanimous Mat, click the photo.) Bottom's up, bros!

Edward from London is one of our more regular customers who buys his eyewear from our Sunday stall at Old
Spitalfields Market and has us fit his lenses. He used to work on the glamorous BBC One Show from where he sent
us this photo wearing his 1960's NHS crystal frame. "Arrived this morning and you're right they do look great. I've
even attached a picture taken in the office, as you can tell it's balloon week. Regards, Edward."
