the Spectacle proudly offers fine American, European and Japanese eyewear. Some of our favorites include:
BOTTEGA VENETA
The eyewear collection is handcrafted in Italy and Japan to guarantee uncompromising quality and lasting beauty. The manufacturing process combines traditional production methods that focus on the hands of the artisans with modern technologies resulting in outstanding craftsmanship and unique details.
TOM FORD
The brand’s core values are reflected in the eyewear collection: Made in Italy, with painstaking attention to detail and high-quality products. The sunglasses and glasses merge together both vintage and contemporary influences. All the styles are rendered instantly recognizable by the elegant metal “T” detail, the undisputed icon of the brand.
Eyebobs
Our vision of providing expressive frames that scream yes. you. can. has become an all-consuming passion, and the difference is in the details. We work with some of the best designers in the world to bring you the highest quality frames in signature eyebobs style. From avant-garde glasses to classic styles reimagined, we believe every frame is a work of art – and we’re not afraid to color outside the lines. We painstakingly select the very best materials, like luxury Italian-designed acetate, spring hinges that flex for amazing comfort and durability, and best-in-class optical quality lenses. eyebobs delivers one-of-a-kind designs, giving you a look like nothing you’ve seen before.
Kawasaki
Kazuo Kawasaki’s ‘screw less, anti-tension’ chassis eliminates loosening of a lens caused by wear and tear of the lens locking screws, a common issue pertaining to rimless frames that uses screws to secure the lenses, thus provide better structural support for the patient’s lenses.
Oliver Peoples
Since the debut of the first collection, Oliver Peoples has maintained a passion for superior eyewear crafted of the finest materials with careful attention to detail. Each frame is meticulously handcrafted in two dedicated factories in Italy and Japan following a process that combines both technological advancements and the human touch. Disregarding conventional processes, each step is carried out despite the length of time required. The end result is an authentic design with bespoke, handmade details that are distinctive and unique.
It takes many months to perfect the design drawings, requiring countless revisions that make adjustments to a fraction of a millimeter to ensure the perfect balance and fit of the frame. Once the design is ready, the prototyping phase begins. A dedicated studio of true craftsman hand carve the raw materials to create three dimensional realizations of the designs. The process is entirely done by hand, and is an essential step in order to see the frame and make any adjustments before the industrialization process begins.
GUCCI
Founded in Florence in 1921, Gucci is one of the world's leading luxury fashion brands. At the beginning of 2015, Gucci embarked on the next chapter in its history, under the creative direction of Alessandro Michele, with the introduction of a new contemporary vision, which is re-establishing its reputation as one of the world's most influential luxury fashion brands. Eclectic, romantic, and above all contemporary, Gucci is currently inventing a wholly modern approach to fashion and thereby redefining luxury for the 21st century.

iGreen
iGreen introduces a revolutionary product made with our 3-D Acetate technology as a result of repid innovation and creative minds. The special 3D cutting technique, patented by iGreen, permits the frame to be cut from a cube of multiple layers of acetate, creating an awesome and unusual optical effect. In addition, through the 3D cut, the frame is actually sculpted with face-form. We proudly design and manufacture our spectacles in Italy and most recently in the USA.
KALA

We cut and polish each frame by hand and have been doing so in California for more than 25 years. Our metal frames are all skillfully crafted by metallurgic artisans in a luxury factory in Japan.

Saint Laurent
Founded in 1961, Yves Saint Laurent was the first couture house to introduce the concept of luxury prêt-à-porter in a 1966 collection called « Rive Gauche », synonymous with youth and freedom. This shift represented a first critical step in the modernization of fashion and revolutionized the socio-cultural landscape.
Silhouette
Optical eyewear used to be seen as a necessary measure, something you had to wear to see properly. But things have come a long way since then. Silhouette prescription glasses are much more than visual aids – they are high-quality accessories that prove that perfect vision and personal style can go hand in hand. Unparalleled lightness and an outstanding fit are the hallmarks of Silhouette’s men’s and women’s glasses. Now, you can look great, while enjoying a comfortable fit and clear vision all day long.
