Let’s face it, Bruce clients are the best. Every day we’re wowed by the talented, accomplished people who come into our store. Ron Horsefall is no exception - this local artist creates eye-catching, intricate, labor-intensive beadwork. When Ron dropped by, he was kind enough to show us a few samples of his incredible art.

Check out these little containers - I bet some eyeglasses would fit in there!

imagine sunglasses big enough to cover you up from all rays of sun, light-weight enough to comfortably go for a run, but stylish enough to wear with a suit…

now imagine MYLON in your wardrobe!

Mylon now makes frames too! more sleek matte ophthalmic styles are still on their way…

brought to you by Berlin’s own MYKITA: check out our previous post on this 3D printed series!

all frames photographed atop Mykita’s award-winning book “8″! get this beautiful coffee-table book with any purchase of mykita or mylon by mentioning this post! (while supplies last)

JULIE IS BACK and thank god. She went to Vipassana to be silent for ten days and get away from us loud-mouths.

Now we’re going to feed her a bunch of espressos and keep her on her feet all day long. Welcome back, careful muffin!

“The Buddy”

bruceeye — Sun, 21 Apr 2013 23:31:52 +0000

Introducing The Buddy: bespoke frame made by Oliver Goldsmith specially for Zachary Stevenson, Vancouver’s own Buddy Holly!

We’ve written about bespoke frames before, but this takes our service to another level. Zachary has been playing the roll of Buddy Holly in The Buddy Holly Story for several years running now, and truly wanted to look the part. Check out the original frame Mr. Holly wore below..

Here’s Nada in her bespoke ORBISON (designed for Roy himself by Oliver Goldsmith in 1964) and Zach in his one-of-a-kind BUDDY!

Thanks Zach, for letting us help make your eyewear dream come true! Follow his progress on twitter @stevensonzach
