Fashion- Unique Sunglasses

I strongly believe that the eyes are the windows to one's soul... but on occasions like the summertime a pair of sunglasses is what stands between one's soul and strong summer rays.

Sunglasses, like a hat are can be use as a reflection of one's personality. I often like to research unique pieces that are more than a mere purchase, but whose production and creator are has creative and interesting as the final product.

One of the  interesting shops I have discovered is Silver Lining, where you won’t see current designer frames, at least since Luxottica bought them. Sure, you’ll find vintage Persols back from when they were independently held (including some original folding frames from the Arabic market designed by Ratti, who was to Persol what Pininfarina was to Ferrari), and the Ray-Bans you’ll find were made in upstate New York by Bausch & Lomb. Silver and Sacher source the vintage finds from former distributors, every piece you’ll find in the store are completely unworn, a rarity in the vintage eyeglass game.

Sitting next to the cases of vintage glasses are dozens of modern pieces from brands like RBS, BI strongly believe that the eyes are the windows to one's soul... but on occasions like the summertime a pair of sunglasses is what stands between one's soul and strong summer rays.
