find your style!

CLASSIC CONSERVATIVE-ISH

These designers offer casual styles that are easy-to-wear and have an understated sophistication. But don’t be fooled; their designs are anything but boring. Featuring rich colors, subtle-yet-playful patterns, and flattering shapes, these frames are classic with a twist. You know…conservative-ish!

DRAMATIC

Do you like to turn heads? Want to command the attention of others? Then boy do we have the collections for you! These designers offer bold, in-your-face styles, strong lines, and rich, vibrant colors that can’t possibly be ignored. People will stare, so make it worth their while!

ECLECTIC + COLORFUL

What do you get when you mix Geometry and Art class? You get our most playful and eclectic collections! These designers combine funky, often geometric shapes with patterns and colors that would make Mother Nature envious. A little kooky and a LOT of fun, these are the styles that are sure to astonish!

EMBELLISED

Dressy, sassy, flirty and fun! Francis Klein is the embodiment of glamor. This is the collection if you’re looking to accent your sparkling personality with eyewear that matches. Uber-feminine shapes to compliment your features, while light glimmers off the gems that adorn these frames like that of the finest jewelry. Francis Klein gets its own category because there’s truly nothing else like it.

PRACTICALLY WEIGHTLESS

While “practically weightless” isn’t really a descriptor for the styles in these collections, it is certainly accurate for how these frames FEEL (i.e. amazing!!). All of these collections offer lightweight titanium frames with designs that run the full gamut of the styles we offer. When comfort is key, these designer brands are a great place to start.

CUSTOM + INNOVATIVE

Have you ever pictured the perfect pair of glasses but discovered they were impossible to find? Come to Eye Candy and let us help you “design” your own! These designer brands offer many options for customization. Need a specific color? Wish you could combine elements of one frame with another to create the perfect style? Their advanced manufacturing processes allow us to help you make the frames of your dreams!

FASHION SUNGLASSES 

Did you know that many of our favorite eyewear designers also make spectacular sunglasses?? The same aesthetic and craftsmanship you see in their optical frames can be found in their suns, which makes for some really luxe sunglass choices. So consider these designers for your next pair of shades, and greet the sun in style!

SPORTY SHADES

Our sport-style sunglasses offer a wrapped sun protection experience that’s perfect for anyone spending hours in the sun. So, whether you’re paddling out on the water, hiking the trails, running a marathon, or just driving around town, these collections will have you covered. Literally! 

What does independent eyewear mean?

To quote Jillian Urcelay for 20/20 Magazine, “These smaller brands cater to a niche population and rely on the quality and innovation of their product instead of the logo attached to it.” The specs speak for themselves! Indie eyewear designers are the backbone of Eye Candy, devoted to vibrant self-expression and creating the wearables for YOU.



When you think of allllll the unique glasses and sunglasses available to us today, you can thank these inspired artisans for pushing the limits of fashion & materials to make it so. We couldn’t be more proud to be an independent optical shop, operated by independent opticians, working with eyewear designers we adore and connect with.

The short answer: independent eyewear is designed by, manufactured by, and sold by small companies with a passion for it (and not owned by the big, bad conglomerate who shall not be named).
