Looking for those statement frames for the Summer?
Then you gotta check out EXTINCT OPTICS at Brooklyn Flea, specializing in vintage and designer frames & glasses. The man behind the company, Maxwell Stainback, has been specializing in eyewear for over 5 years now and you can expect to find nothing but the best selection from him.
Glasses start at $50 and sunnies at $90. You can expect to come across never-worn styles bearing such names as Pierre Cardin, Versace, Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent, and of course our hipster staple…RAY-BANS! I bought a hot pair last summer of black & gold oval framed Les Copains which are still my go-to frames throughout the year.
Extinct Optics also carries a wide variety fo glasses dating back to the 40’s, so if you’re into vintage cat eye’d or loud & graphic 80’s, chances are you’re gonna find them here. Most of the styles are dead-stock vintage, meaning no one has worn them & they come with the original packaging. Any of the frames can be filled with your prescription.
Here are some of my favs:
