I Found Gallery: Part 1

I Found Gallery on Etsy has one of the largest and most covetable vintage eyewear collection I've come accross. I'm...completely dumfounded at the pages and pages of stunning stuff they're selling. I have this ritual where I hide my credit card whenever I browse their pages, and make a distinct effort to not be in the same room as my housemates who inevitably coo "oooo, that would look amazing on you!". Because they would look amazing on me, dammit, but how on this earth could I just pick one pair??

Bibby's Rocket Vintage: Part 1

I've stumbled upon this amazing Etsy store recently. It is an absolute treasure trove of vintage glasses, including the most sought-after of all, NOS frames! NOS means New Old Stock, which basically means they are vintage, but have been stored and never worn. It's not just the potential cooties you have to worry about with vintage eyewear, plastic frames can lose moisture the longer they're worn, and become brittle and lacklustre over time. NSO frames are still in beautiful, original condition, and completely ideal for fitting your lenses into without the potential heartbreak of them snapping in the optical lab!

There are so many beautiful frames here, I've decided to do two rounds of blog posts. I've also included most of the original description from the website, so it gives you a some tasty information about each of them. Stay tuned for another series of stunning specs soon, and in the meantime, check out the Bibby's Rocket Vintage store here!
