So excited to announce that we have another trunk show on our horizons!!!  This time it will be up at our Broadmead location and we will be featuring BEAUSOLIEL, one of our favorite lines from Paris, France.  The eyewear collection is amazing and if you are in the market for new glasses or just MORE new glasses, please come visit us on Thursday April 19th, 12:00 noon to 8:00 pm.  There will be special savings on the frames, door prices and other great promos for this special day.  We will have the whole collection, every frame, every colour, to share with you…including their georgous sunwear line.  You can get a small glimpse of the collection from their website, www.beausoliel.fr.  In the meantime, this quote from designer Frederic Beausoliel.

“Creation is strength!
The strength to impose to oneself the respect of the finest
craftsmanship, the pursuit of the style that will sign this unique
perspective.
First comes the inspiration. Then the research of the best
exclusive raw materials capable of translating the elegance
and sophistication of the design. Finally colors and more
colors to give life.

I have created a refined and elegant collection mixing
the components of fashion, just like its demanding and inspired
clientele that is using accessories as a mean of identification
and recognition.”
