Now that the sun has finally graced our presence here in the PNW, our eyes are craving some good quality sunglass protection. Lizzy ramped up the coverage AND style in this amazing Garret Leight sunglass that features built-in side shields! It evokes that vintage "glacier glasses" look that has been revived by the steampunk fashion scene, but with a more refined aesthetic... one of our favorites this season!
... drawn to State
not only because ...

The signature '21 point triangle' of each temple end is a homage to State's home of Illinois - the 21st state. |
We are drawn to State Optical not only because of their fine quality workmanship, contemporary styling, and being American-made, but also to support a mission that aligns with EOF's core values as well:
"As a company that challenges the status quo; that is blazing its own path despite being told, “it can’t be done;” that is by every measure of the phrase “self-made in America,” STATE envisions America through the lens of “New Originals.” Artists, musicians, architects, scientists, fashion designers, philanthropists, entrepreneurs, etc. – all makers and doers – who, like us, are out there making and doing things that redefine what America means and stands for in their own unique ways. From their own unique perspectives."
