A moment to appreciate detail.
Van’s favorite classic store items include these 1960’s jailhouse glasses. They are a simple, stylish style and have no metal in the frames to keep inmates form manipulating them in to weapons or tools.
It’s fun to play with glasses and hang out wuth Van. See a beautiful cutomer sporting one of her favorite pairs. And van showing off his collapsing-frame spectacles. This young ladies second favorite? See left.
