First I want you to scroll down and look at each photo featured in this post and notice the details on each one of them. Once you’re done, scroll back here to find out more about them.
You’re done? OK, these are brand new vintage sunglasses dating back all the way to the 1960’s which you can purchase right here in K-town. Yup! You read that right. Stunned? I know I am! The vintage collection is a new line by EYE BOUTIQUE, an exclusive offshoot of Hassan’s Optician’s. Thanks to Sanaz, the brain behind EYE BOUTIQUE who has e-mailed me and told me more about it.
Sanaz decided to get involved in her family business, so she went through old stocks at Hassan's and was pleasantly surprised when she opened all these old and neglected boxes and found the huge Dior, CAZAL, and YSL shades in them. Luckily they were all stored in good condition. “I have done my research on the net and our vintage prices are very reasonable. Mostly in the KD60 to KD90 range for the Diors, YSL's and Valentinos. We were approached by vintage retailers abroad which offered very good prices for these pieces but we, at Hassan's Optician's and EYE BOUTIQUE, were very keen to offer the vintage collection to the Kuwaiti market since they originally belonged to Kuwait and its people”, expressed Sanaz. “This collection is very valuable to our company as they are part of Hassan’s Optician’s heritage”.
Vintage sunglasses achieved cult status years ago and have since become legendary. Just about every uber-chic fashionista who wants to channel A-list glamor has a pair. From the big plastic framed 60’s styles to the retro-cool 50’s cat eyes frames. So, whether you’re a vintage collector, a trend-follower, or just interested in the history of fashion eyewear, this is a collection worth seeing.
