“The Buddy”

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
