I want to take a little time to let you know about a really cool pair of Barton Perreira glasses. The Barton Perreira Banks is a true classic. It’s a P3 shape, which means it’s not completely round, but it is close. The P3 actually fits most people better than a true round frame, because it follows the eyebrows a little better, and still gives plenty of room for progressive lenses or bifocals.
The Banks comes in 8 classic colors, and is made out of the best acetate currently available. Barton Perreira takes great care with their frames, and the quality is exquisite. When they attach the temples to the eyeglass frame front, they rivet all the way through, so the temples don’t loosen in the frame. They go back to basics, and make sure every frame is perfect.
Barton Perreira’s chief designer is Patty Perreira, who designed frames for Oliver Peoples in their heyday. She has her finger on the optical pulse, and her frames are always cutting edge. These frames are truly spectacular.
