Hunting & Gathering

When entering Ioptics it becomes clear that they combine sight with style, filling the room with little vignettes of conservative and offbeat frames. Veering away from the traditional and embracing different elements of quirky, a pair of Walter Wissing frames, handmade in Germany, steals the show. Walter Wissing specializes in making quality custom plastic frames proving this pair is truly one of a kind. Charmingly unconventional, the glasses are made up of square and circle lenses as well as different patters for the frame and arms. Whether an everyday pair or just for special occasions, these frames will catch everyone’s eye. Enjoy for $400.
