In a few months, we can all rejoice, for the wintry chill left by some very unpredictable weather these last few months will be gone. Summer fast approaches, so along with tons of sunscreen to keep wrinkles and sun damage at bay, why not protect your eyes in vintage designer eyewear?

Enter Rare Eyewear.  The company started in 2002 when owner, Curtis Hawes stumbled on a collection of vintage Cazal frames.  After Selling them at boutiques in Japan, business skyrocketed.  Hawes and his team scour the globe for rare finds to add to inventory, and each pair of sunglasses is painstakingly inspected and reviewed for authenticity.

100% of what they sell online and at their brick and mortar boutique in San Francisco was produced between 1960 to the early 90’s.  With brands like Gucci, Versace, Porsche Design, Carrera and Alain Mikli (among MANY others), you’re sure to find something to suit your taste.  Prices range from $160 all the way up to $1,000 (splurge territory), but chances are you may not be able to find eyewear this rare anywhere else.
