The times are a-changin'

After a whirlwind summer of remerchandising, adding the Retro Room, and launching Ratas Retro Eyewear, we are slowly finishing off the last touches of our shop renovation.

Thanks to our friends at Syllogy Home Decor across the way, we have been adding new wood shelving which has really warmed things up. Many of our customers have asked if the store is under new management or been sold - nope, just a few new faces and some changes! In fact, next year Ratas Optical will be celebrating 50 years as a family owned business.

So come by and see what we are up too! We are open daily from 11am until 6pm Monday through Friday, and Saturday from 11am until 5pm. Sunday, we are closed. We have new frames arriving weekly, and the biggest selection of retro eyewear in town.

Our Favorites This Week

Check our Ene's very cool Victory Sunglasses!  Available in satin pewter and tortoise (shown) and gold/ burgundy.

For Irene, the sensational style and comfort of Blackfin is showcased with these titanium and tortoise frames. Perfect with regular lenses, but would look amazing with the new Transitions Signature VII Graphite Green lenses too!

Finally, for our Ratas Retro Eyewear collection, Sherri found this sculptural beauty from Spain. They would look great as sunglasses as well. Only two of these beauties are available.

Retro Room Update

It is almost ready! 

Yesterday was spent sorting and... sorting, working out displays and photographing more of our eclectic assortment of retro frames. Also had a lovely homemade lunch prepared by Irene. We are looking forward to welcoming our customers to the Retro Room very very soon.

Here is a sample of some of the gems that are available. Keep an eye on the Retro section of our website for more photos.

Retro Laura Biagiotti

Retro Laura Biagiotti

Thinking ahead to warmer weather today, I came across Laura Biagiotti's Spring Summer 2014 Ready-To-Wear collection in Italia Vogue...le sigh.  Take a moment to enjoy this beautiful collection here 

 We have a few retro Laura Biagiotti frames to match those dreamy frocks!

 I guess it is never too early to start planning a new wardrobe and accessories?
