Monday Night Groove

It's All Man Monday

That's right - it's All Man Monday at Ratas Optical. Today we are showcasing a few favourites from The Victory Optical Collection.  

Our inspiration began with this ad that we found in an old magazine...and now we will be making this a regular blog feature. We need models by the way, any takers? 

Fellas, come in on Monday, try on some frames, send us your selfie to use on our blog and like us on Facebook. We will do you a solid with a sweet kickback on some awesome new eyewear. Monday, Manly Monday!

Hand crafted using rare vintage rimless mounting hardware, with gold filled or silver temples, our collection will appeal to collectors and clients who love comfortable and timeless eyewear.

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.
