Vintage Eyeglasses

I generally shop at American Apparel (americanapparel.net) for my eyeglasses, and sometimes at GiantVintage.com, but recently their selections have been lacking. So my question is, where can I found AWESOME vintage eyeglasses/sunglasses online? Like the ones at American Apparel?

i dont know if im thinking of the same ones as you....but you might wanna try Nordstrums. they have a BUNCH of really cute sunglasses :] http://nordstrums.com/

I need it for an actor in a play about WW2. He has to wear the glasses quite a bit on stage and he normally doesn't wear glasses. I don't have a lot of money to spend!

Try ebay. There is a pretty good selection for decent prices. They would normally either come with clear lenses or no lenses. I used to work for an eye doctor who put clear lenses in for free for several of my friends. Not sure what the going rate on this would be, but Im sure you could get something made for them.

High quality
Great Sunglasses at a Great Price!

I need a new pair of sunglasses but can't find something I like. If I buy a pair of vintage eyeglass frames, is it possible for an eye doctor/Pearle Vision (or whatever) cut out custom sunglass lenses to fit? I don't need prescription lenses or anything.

If so, about how much would that cost?

As long as the frame is in good condition and as long as the frame is made for optical lenses then many places should do it. I would stay away from any old plastic vintage frames because they tend to deteriorate. Putting new lenses in them could damage the frames. As long as the optical has the appropriate equipment (most opticals have edging machines that trace the lens shape before it cuts them) then there should be no problems. The price will depend on what type of lenses you are getting . Whether they are prescription or Plano (non prescription) and if they are either tinted or polarized will make a difference in the price! You should expect to pay at least $60+ for new lenses! I would call around to see which opticals will do this for you!
Good luck!

You're right the 70's aren't coming back, but everything you own is probably a figment of something dated. Get a clue, Miss. Oh, and Merry Christmas.

Oh no the 70s are coming back


LoL

Merry Christmas

I just bought a pair of vintage plastic eyeglasses online, the shape is perfect (ive been searching for this shape everywhere) but i hate the color. What is the most durable and least toxic (since it will be sitting on my face for extended periods of time) paint to use? I have been thinking about using the spray paint for plastics but I'm not sure if thats the best choice.

I know you want to but I really wouldn't put paint, especially spray on your glasses. They'll be near your eyes and will most likely be bad for them however non toxic the paint is. I'm sure the colours not that bad. :)
