You know what they say about couples that shop at Eye Spy together…they look great! 🕺Lora is a lover of bold aviator-style frames so we were not surprised when she fell for a new asymmetrical acetate aviator. She brought in Michael for his first Eye Spy frame … and he also fell for an aviator!? His frame is a one-of-a-kind RealCycle! Refer a friend to get $50 off your next pair!

When Lori’s mom visited from Montreal, she knew they had to stop at Eye Spy! We helped them pick out this awesome two-tone frame, and Lori wore the sunglasses she got over the summer! Stunning! Don’t forget, tomorrow is the last day of our Nina Mǔr Pop Up where you can try on all the available shapes and customize a sustainably sourced bespoke wooden frame ! 👏
