We recently learned of the uber-luxe of eye-wear from Manhattan based CustomEyes.
CustomEyes is an eye-wear atelier that creates vintage and bespoke eye-wear. Conceived by Nader Zadi in 1995 because of, “his frustration over the use of technology and mass production that had abandoned craftsmanship for a robotic approach to eyeglass manufacturing” according to the company website.
Glasses are made by hand for each unique client. With a variety of unique frames, each is individual with some frames dating back 200 years. These classic frames are fitted with modern eye-wear using prescription or tinted lenses.
With such care and attention to the tiniest detail, this eyewear is for the tailor-made man. And with prices to reflect it.

Wondering if you could make a custom pair of frames and lenses from a picture?

Those are some unique frames. Why not make lines of glasses (not so much that they are mass-produced, as he is “frustrated” with that) to see how they do in the designer market?
