NHL Peachy: Morning Skate: Stanley Cup Playoffs Edition – May 3, 2016 Our Coverage Sponsored by Surreal Eyewear
Founded in 2002 and located in New York City’s West Village, Surreal Eyewear sets the standard in Manhattan for eyewear and truly goes beyond the pair of glasses. In Manhattan and beyond, Surreal Eyewear is in a class by itself in specializing as a consultant rather than a retailer, attracting a global clientele.
“Surreal Eyewear is a museum of eyewear; it’s a tribute to eyewear design”, states Oleg Rabinovich, the store’s owner and creative director. World-renowned brands such as Kuboraum, Dzimtry Samal, FACE a FACE, Theo and Anne et Valentin compliment Surreal Eyewear’s recently expanded line of its own handmade frames and sunglasses. Surreal Eyewear prides itself in curating a sophisticated and vast array of new, vintage and custom eyewear brands sourced from all over the world. The fashion sense Surreal Eyewear epitomizes ensures a highly fashionable clientele that greatly anticipate new styles seasonally for their optical wardrobe.
At Surreal Eyewear one does not pick out a pair of glasses, rather one enters into a process that ensures walking away impossibly chic, conveying style, function and art. These opticians are the craftspeople and conduits into this process, selecting bespoke frames to fit an individual’s face and personality, and are never shy about refusing to sell frames that are deemed unsuitable.
Surreal Eyewear are first and foremost opticians with lens fabrication with the best optics by Carl Zeiss, done in-house with standards all can aspire to. For the truly demanding and appreciative of style nuances, ideas can be developed into custom frames and lenses for a one-off production that transcends the mundane.
