Where can I get great glasses frames in LA?

Asked by andrew (16562points) December 15th, 2007

I’m looking for a kick-ass pair of frames… maybe even a nice 50’s vintage pair. Something nice and chunky. Anyone have a favorite spot in LA?

Check out where Dame Edna buys hers. Or maybe in the LA yellow pages there are Second-hand Rose shops. The trouble w. the 50’s frames was that we stepped on them, sat on them and dropped them…there aren’t many left.

Damn. I can’t figure out the Textile for the google site: where does the URL go?

I’ve noticed that Eyeglass.com has some vintage ones, you can check them out online but unfortunately it won’t help if you’re looking for a place to go try ‘em on… vintageglasses

For those who are interested, I ended up going to RetroSpecs… very expensive but very cool frames.
