Back with a quick one for you all — this is a quick look at the new TVR 533 frame. All the usual stuff is the same: quality is great, gorgeous attention to detail, and a special hand engraved temple arm…
Read moreTPL Recommends: Lunetterie Generale Glasses
Just a short one today. High end eyeglasses are having a true renaissance. There are plenty of great brands, but perhaps a less commonly known one is Lunetterie Generale.

Read moreOliver Peoples' Latest Frames
For those “in the know” about eyeglasses, Oliver Peoples is an interesting brand. On the one hand, it is owned by Luxottica — that massive corporation that owns and controls about 90% of the eyeglasses market; just about every brand you likely know is owned by them — which would indicate that their frames would follows like most other Luxottica owned brands…

Read moreReview: Tart Optical (with Discount Code!)
If you’ve seen photos of celebrities wearing glasses before, you’ve likely seen the Tart Optical Arnel eyeglasses frame before. They are one of, if not the single most famous eyeglasses frame ever produced.

Read moreThe Best Warby Parker Competitor Out There: Cubitts Spectacles
It is no secret that Warby Parker has essentially cornered the online, attainable luxury, eyeglasses market. Not to mention the fact that they are slowly building out a physical retail space empire. Nevertheless, there are still some worthwhile competitors. Tortoise & Blonde or RAEN just to name two solid ones. But nothing comes quite as close to how easy Warby Parker is, both as far as their price, quality, selection, and home try-on…
