Oh expensive eyewear, how I adore thee…read more.. It does not matter how sunny, rainy or foggy and overcast it is outside, I will be sporting my fancy sunglasses. I am still in love with my two Bvlgari sunglasses. One a rather simple burgundy affair that I bought locally and the other, a really ornate pair embellished with rhinestones that I picked up in Dubai, UAE. As a matter of fact, on those overcast days, a pair of sunglasses with UV protection is still just as necessary as it is on a bright and sunny day. Adding polarization to the sunglasses just gets rid of that annoying glare. This is how I justify my sunglasses addiction. Sunglasses are not a fluffy, feel-good accessory like earrings. Sunglasses are necessary for my health. The fact that I need Prada for my health...well...that is just pretty awesome isn't it?

The service is civil and they take time when it's clear you're going to be dropping serious money. But, after dropping over 400 dollars on lenses (I brought my own frames to them, but read on about that) and I asked for a box to put my new glasses in, they said "Ten dollars". Really? After all the dough I just spent? It left a bitter taste in my mouth and I probably won't go back because of that petty gesture. Ironically, the frames were purchased FROM THEM two years earlier for a few hundred bucks. Not a good way to end what was a good experience. There are too many other choices in town. Good bye, Blink. You lost me.

Vision is basically a miracle…read more It all started with a random gene mutation which made a newly light sensitive protein about 700 million years ago. https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/thoughtomics/animal-vision-evolved-700-million-years-ago/. Eventually fish developed eyes. Then the fish walked on land. Vision gave the species who had it a tremendous evolutionary advantage. Our today human binocular, focusing, color vision along with the visual system in our brain is a thing of beauty. Because our eye is complex, it can benefit from help sometimes in the form of eyeglasses, a unique human contribution to material evolution. We can correct limitations in the lens and shade our eyes with sunglasses. Eyeglasses are an expressive choice like clothing, footwear and accessories. Some Portlanders thought, "can we make eyeglass frames with wood?" And they did, making Shwood. You can see them all around town and they are made in Portland, Oregon, USA. They make sunglasses, pre-lensed, and prescription frames that a prescription lens can fit. They have wood, metal, acetate plastic in various combinations or solo as materials. They even have rare lines which use thin veneers of stone and shell. For the wearer they read design, organic, bold, and some, handmade. I have wood. They are super lightweight and well made. With prescription clear lenses, the pupil should be centered in the lens, unless you can pull off the 70's look without that. With sunglasses, the lens can be as big as you like. The Shwood sunglasses are not Jackie O big. But their designs tend to run wide, with medium to large lenses, and are bold style. Some are inspired by the 1950's Wayfarer. That's all very popular now. They do a stellar job with their eyeglass cases, mine came with a hand-sewn wool pouch, nylon lined + leather drawstring through aluminum eyelets. Their packaging boxes are beautiful too. They sell online through their website shwoodshop.com. They are on the socials and have an email including special deals. For their size, they do some of the best branding in the world. They have the styling and photography down. They do collaborations excellently. They do short videos. They go on camping trips. They tell a story of creative life set in our Northwest, one of the most beautiful places on earth, and the wider West ditto. In some of the narratives, the eyewear is just barely there or not even at all. That's advanced branding. It is a direct evolution of the original outdoor journal-catalog manifestos of Chouinard Equipment, Great Pacific Iron Works and Patagonia. Those brands changed the world in sustainable outdoor gear and evolved branding far beyond the Mad Men era. Shwood distributes to opticians if you need a prescription lens - there is a list on their website. The sunglasses can be found in all the cool - harmonious with the brand - shops of Portland. I look at Made Here PDX by Powells. Although available worldwide, the sunglasses would make a great made-in-Portland gift. And for visitors, with no sales tax here, a great pickup. When people ask you about them: "yeah, I got these in Portland." Shwood joins my list of Portland World Class. Because they are. And they join the Made in Portland With Sustainable Love list too.

Visage has a cool selection of frames-- but go somewhere else to have the lenses made-- their lab sucks. I've had great lenses made with ABC Vision and Eyes On Broadway. I want to say ABC in Hillsdale was the best Rx and lens ever. Eyes on B'way did honor a warranty, though, when the coating didn't last. But eh, the coating should last. I went to Visage because they had the frames I wanted. I had a decent eye exam there, picked out my frames, and was told it would be 2 weeks to make the lenses. It was a pretty typical experience. I came in on a Saturday to pickup, and man, something was WRONG with one of my lenses. Really off. I have a very light distance correction, progressive, prism. Nothing terribly complicated. I was told that "no one" was there to examine the lenses on the weekend, so I had to leave them there and I would be getting a call on Monday. No one calls Monday. Tuesday morning, still nothing. I called midday Tuesday, and yep, the Rx is wrong on one of my lenses. They now have to send the frame back to the lab for a new lens to be ground. They will call me in about a week, I'm told, and I should come in during the week if I want someone to verify they're correct. They close at 6. I really hate when businesses screw up, and really do the bare minimum to make it right. How about-- You have someone at Visage verify that the lab made the lenses correctly, especially now that I've already wasted one trip out there for faulty lenses? How about you staff an optician on Saturdays, so clients can have their problems addressed while they're in the office? How about you address problems with a sense of urgency, and not wait for the patient to call a few days later? And when you can't do any of those things, how about you at least offer a discount for the inconvenience?

It looked cute on the outside and it was very close to where we were staying so it wasn't much of an inconvenience to stop by. It's a place with several vendor areas so different racks for different vibes. But overall, everything was sort of the same with stained and ripped clothing overpriced. I would call most of this stuff ratty before I would call it vintage. Flannels were priced $25 to $40 when they should have been max $10. A lot of it did not seem to be curated either. Just random clothes piled together. There were some pieces that were nice but overall not worth the price. I'm sure the people who work here and the owners are nice, but this place was just disappointing. There are better shops on the area.
