Here comes the Sun (Glasses)!

412-204-7493

Our current auction features some wonderful items to help you look great this summer.  I am talking about our wonderful collection of designer sunglasses in nearly every shape and color.


Thank you Beatles and especially George Harrison, for writing the that wonderful song, “Here comes the Sun”.  This blog is a tribute to the Beatles who took sunglasses to a new level. You might already know July 7th was Ringo Starr’s Birthday.
Vintage style sunglasses have been growing in popularity, and the biggest names in designer eyewear have been re-inventing and perfecting these styles in order to make them relevant in the current fashion atmosphere. Some of the names included in our current auction: Armani, Oakley, Fred Lunettes, Maui Jim, and Kieselsysin-Cord .

Aviator sunglasses were developed by Ray-Ban in 1936 for pilots who needed to protect their eyes while flying.

They became popular with the public a year after they were released and continued to gain popularity because they were worn by rock stars and cultural icons like Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr.
The rise of the hipster, the revival of retro, and postmodern approaches to fashion have made vintage retro sunglasses and eyewear designs must-have accessories.  Designer eyewear brands have helped bring these vintage styles back to life. From the aviator and Wayfarer to frames with round “John Lennon” lenses and 1960s-inspired plastic brows, vintage style sunglasses are hot. Now they can be yours. see Sunglasses Category.




Here is a tribute to John and item 98
“It’s all right.”



Happy Bidding!
