So I think I’ve become an eye-wear connoisseur. But in order to get knighted I had to go meet the King–Silver Lining Opticians. Silver Lining houses the finest optical brands, iconic vintage sunglasses, and long-forgotten hand-made European eye-wear brands.
After Moscot hooked ya girl up with a pair of Theroux, I’ve started to feel an addiction forming. With decisions about the hot spots I keep my ear close to the streets. The people have spoken and Silver Lining Opticians was that go-to spot.


I found some Dee & Ricky brooches there too.
The store is stocked with all vintage dead stock frames. Which means none of these have been worn. And unlike most stores, all of the goodies are in the back. (see tall black drawers) I swear I went through at least 5 drawers of straight vintage Christian Dior frames.  My mind couldn’t take it all.




“Our vintage ranges from iconic styles made famous by stars like Steve McQueen and Audrey Hepburn to a constantly growing collection of individual pieces from hundreds of brands from the 1960s through 1980s. We continue to wholesale our vintage collection to some of the world’s most exclusive stores.” via SL

Since I’m living through the tints now, let’s make them luxury frames provided by Silver Lining.
