If you're looking for vintage inspired glasses...

From Neil Blumenthal (Co-founder): "Warby Parker is a boutique online glasses shop that sells vintage-inspired specs for $95. Success comes from not thinking, or acting, like a LensCrafter. They will mail users up to five glases at a time, to try on and return. Shipping is free. A typical optical shop carries up to 1000 frames; Warby offers 50. That might exclude many costumers' tastes, but it builds trusts with those who like what they see. "
Warby puts not branding on its frames too because they found most of their costumers' don't like feeling like they are walking billboards.
