Paris West Optical

 LOTS of new stuff arriving this month in anticipation of Fall... here's a sneak peak...from Volte Face...  Barton Perreira... and Bevel. Much more to follow.

Hi... this post is for you... you know who you are...the one with the glasses purchased at the place where you buy toilet paper in bulk. I know... you saved a chunk of change by buying that made in China masterpiece that adorns your face...yep, the one with the flaking finish and fancy spring hinges...that stopped springing back in 2004. I'm not passing judgement...ok that's a lie...I am... I'm not very tactful...ask my ex-wife. Anywhoo...don't take this wrong way..I'm all in favor of saving money...I'm just saying that maybe there are better places to save it instead of on the item that goes on your face...you know the one that you actually SEE out of. If I had a dollar for every time I see someone who spent more money (usually much more) on their watch or shoes or tie or handbag than they did on their eyeglasses...well then I'd buy all of you nice glasses... but until then consider this:  The average pair of well made glasses should last about 5 tim...

 Beautiful NEW arrivals from SALT, both opthalmic and sun are now in stock.  We are so excited about this that I was asked to repeat this message in another language just to reacher a wider audience.  Unfortunately I barely speak english so that presents a bit of a problem...and I'm too cheap/lazy to invest in Rosetta Stone so I'll do my best... Eautifulbay EWNAY rrivalsaay romfay ALTSAY , othbay pthalmicoay ndaay unsay reaay ownay niay tocksay. Forget French, pig latin is really the language of love. See you oonsay!

 Spring is here! Everyone knows that Spring = tons of NEW releases from all of the top design houses... and this year we are off to our best start EVER. Our first quarter set sales records but rather than take that money and save it like most rational adults, I've just decided to buy even MORE frames than usual... I'm sure there's some mental illness that can be assigned to this behavior... but who cares if I'm nuts? It means even MORE great selections for you guys. (just ignore me if I'm sitting in the corner talking to myself when you visit...one of our wonderful and sane staff will be happy to assist you). But enough of my problems lets get to the good stuff... Above we have new DITA... both opthalmic and sun.                                     New Alain Mikli...                           Awesome stuff from L.A. Eyewo...

 As we head towards Spring usually we are gearing up for our busy season... this year, however, our busy season seems to have started early...like January 2nd early. We are off to out best start EVER...product is flying off the shelves and we are replacing it with cool new stuff at a record pace... As those of you who have visited on recent Saturdays know...it has been a MADHOUSE in the shop...thank you to everybody who visited...and thank you for your patience and business.  We have a ton of new things to show you from the likes of Anne et Valentin (pictured), Etnia Barcelona, IC! Berlin, Alain Mikli, Sama, Barton Perreira, and many others...not to mention the world of Tom Davies and his Bespoke collections which we have barely scratched the surface of... It's an exciting time here at Paris West.. our staff is the best it's ever been (even the legendary Aubrey is back...on a rather limited basis), our inventory is bananas, and I'm...well I'm still bald... I gue...
