Etnia Barcelona's Pellicer collection is entering their second season of designs, and the city's inspiration is evident now more than ever. The engraved titanium core wires reflect the gothic designs seen on the wrought iron fences, and the frame face encases a titanium skeleton with details similar to that of the brick facades found throughout Barcelona.

Zeiss recently launched their latest in lens coating technology: Duravision Gold UV. 

The lens has a subtle hue of gold reflection, emanating quiet luxury while catapulting to a new (and official!) standard in scratch resistance. An improved anti-static property also means the lens is more smudge resistant, more hydrophobic, and easier to clean. 

Stop by and see a sample of the Zeiss Duravision Gold UV coating!

Sometimes, celebrity style becomes so iconic that certain looks become associated with them. Eyewear is no different; 60's movie stars like Steve McQueen and Gregory Peck wore era-defining frames, and other public figures made such a spectacle with their spectacles that these frames were essentially named after them.

"Parisian Chic"

French eyewear manufacturer Lafont has been creating unique and fashionable eyewear since 1923. With over 80% of their collection designed, sourced, and manufactured in France, they boast an impressive collection over three distinct lines, from youthful and funky to artistic and sophisticated. Lafont also produces the majority of their acetates in-house, meaning their bright and colourful patterns are unique to their designs.

The AI race continues to blaze its trail in eyewear integration.

We are proud to be Canada's first authorized distributor of Even Realities, a new type of AI-integrated frame that displays information directly on the lens for the wearer to interact with. From map directions to live translation and quick notes, Even Realities is pushing the boundaries of wearable tech. This groundbreaking frame won the Red Dot Design Award of 2025, as has been seen on titans of industries, from CEOs to AI developers.

Offered in two different shapes (G1 A and G1 B), a hidden camera projects text and images onto a built-in film within the lens, allowing for perfect clarity for the wearer while allowing them to see and interact with the displayed information. Even Realities also offers prescription lenses in both single vision and progressive lenses, making them a viable solution for everyone delving into the new world of AI.

Exclusively at our Leslieville location, stop by today and try out a new pair!
