I need some new glasses. I dont want to go to have the same glasses everyone else is wearing. Where in the Lower Mainland can i go to get fashionable glasses which are also unique. Any one know of any stores around here?

Costco? Hahahah...The bruceeyewear place looks unique and nice. I will check them out in the next few days for sure. What else is available? There's gotta be more than one place that carries unique/stylish eyewear in BC.

There might be one shop n yaletown cant remind what its called. In general most shops dont carry indie stuff because most of the general public arent willing to pay such a high price for brands theyve never heard of. Thats y u get a ton of different stores all selling the same brands....mind you..thats y u can get them cheap. But i think it might be like streetwear where those brands wont just sell them at any shop.

Yeah, that's for sure true. The big companies got to play it safe and sell what is normal. I dont want a freaky-looking piece of eyewear, but i dont want some mainstream stuff that everyone has, also. I am willing to fork out a few more hundred dollars for less common brands, but i want quality and style at the same time. We'll see what i can find.

Just checked out Bruce eyewear. You weren't kidding. They have super unique styled glasses from some high-end, realtively unknown (to the mainstream market) (sun)glasses. You also weren't kidding about their prices. I picked up a pair from a brand called face a face (France). With lenses, they're costing me just under $700. Expensive, but i am sure a lot of people will be wearing my stuff. Something i can't stand! Thanks for the heads up.

hahah yeah, but you really have to shop around first, sometimes you can get better deals at other places IF they are able to get the brands that you want. I think those specialty shops rape on the lens prices though. Just my opinion but I mean even if they are using expensive nikon lenses, it shouldnt be that much. But I guess if you want exclusive stuff then you really have no other choice.

Rx Eyewear....
I see you can get Rx Arnette and Spy sunglasses at this place, Surfeyes.com. Cool to have sweet frames with your prescription in them.

Hope that helps.
