heat ray!


vintage ray ban by bausch & lomb
signet
made in usa circa 1984
new with tags

counter the heat-rays in these heat ray-ban signet with heat-resistant constant density g15 lenses by the originators bausch & lomb. as seth the zone7style guru tells us about the contemporary luxottica ray ban...."the plastic frames, plastic lenses, poor quality hinges and construction cost 50p to manufacture in china. you paid £120 for them, how does that make you feel? why not come and purchase an original made in usa pair for the same price. bausch & lomb glass lenses, acetate frames, 8 barrel hinges."

are the glasses half full or half empty?


vintage nhto
nhs #824 46[_]24
made in britian circa 1950's

are the glasses half full or half empty? it depends how you see the world i guess. do you see things clearly or is it somewhat misty? do you have optimum vision through the mist or are you a pessimist? to me these gorgeous empty frames are only half so. see your optician, have them glazed over & optimise your fulfillment. fully!
