Is it time for you to expand your eyeglass wardrobe?

If you need eyeglasses to drive, you should probably be wearing prescription sunglasses. And maybe a second pair of glasses -- ones that are a bit more fun. Or a dedicated work pair for the computer? Hmm... 🧐

Artisan Eyewear is holding a big Buy Two Get One Free Sale the first week of June! 🥳

You can mix-and-match lens types, including polarized sun lenses and Transitions®! 😎

Here's the "Fine Print":
Free pair is the lowest-priced of the three
Certain lenses, upgrades and add-ons are ineligible
Complete pairs only, and frames must be in-stock items
Offer is for one person - it can't be split between 2-3 people

Bring your prescription or ask your eye doctor to fax it to us: 802-526-3245!

Can't make it June 3-7? We are offering the option to shop any time before June 3; your order will be put on hold and we will process during Sale Week.

If you're not familiar with Artisan Eyewear: we are an independent optical boutique. To answer 3 FAQ: We do not offer eye exams, we are not in-network with any vision plans, and we don't carry children's frames.

Our top frame brands include Theo, Swissflex, Nina Mûr, Faniel, Dutz and Blackfin. Artisan Eyewear is located in Norwich, Vermont and is open Tues-Fri 10-5 Sat 10-2

Hi everyone! 👋 Artisan Eyewear has made the decision to pull our energy away from Meta platforms (Facebook, Instagram). We aren't deleting our accounts because we want to ensure folks know we're here📍, but we won't be posting or regularly monitoring messages.

We'd like to invite our clients and all eye wear fans to instead subscribe to our new email newsletter. It's the next-best thing to getting to see you in the shop for a catch-up chat!

These monthly emails will strike a balance between business and personal -- photos of new products at Artisan Eyewear, shop announcements and international optical trends, as well as personal touches: movie or music recommendations, maybe a recipe or a poem. My goal is low-volume, high-quality.

The emails are sent via Substack, but you don't need a Substack account to receive them. 🙂 I hope to 'see you there'!

**EDIT 5/2/25** With three months of Substack newsletters behind us, we're going to try to strike a new balance with our social media. Big thanks to those of you who are subscribed to our newsletter, if you haven't joined yet you can find a link on our website's Contact page.

Here is your annual reminder: check if you have a Flex Spending Account with funds that expire December 31. Prescription sunglasses and eyeglasses are a qualifying FSA medical expense!

I finally checked off a very old "to-do": my first blog post!
Swissflex is the most complex and customizable product at Artisan Eyewear, so it makes sense they're my first topic.
Do you have ideas of what I could cover in a future blog post? I'm all ears!

Swissflex Eyewear: The Ultimate Guide to Custom, Comfortable Glasses by Natalie Taylor, LDO As an optician, I know first hand how devoted a customer can get to a frame brand. They experience that magical combination of flattering shape, comfortable fit and great style, and now nothing less will do.....
