Season’s greetings, SWEC followers! We hope you had a wonderful winter holiday with your friends and loved ones.
This Saturday, January 24th, SWEC will be having our first mixer of 2015. This event will include both a reception for local artist Eileen Kane’s bold figural art show at South Waterfront Eye Care and a full trunk show from eyewear industry leaders Masunaga Optical and Zero-G Eyewear!
Saturday, January 24th
2pm- Trunk Show
5pm – Artist Reception + Social Mixer
At the Trunk Show, we will be offering B.O.G.O. on all featured frames + 50% OFF LENSES!!
During this event you will have the opportunity to see all the frames available from Zero-G and Masunaga! If you like what you’ve seen at SWEC- and crave a huge selection of these designers’ opthalmics- this will be a great time to see all the frames they have to offer. For those unfamiliar with these lines, Masunaga Optical and Zero G Eyewear are both Japanese companies that produce beautifully handmade optical frames.
Zero G Eyewear is handcrafted in Japan from flat sheet titanium. These frames focus on classic, modern, and timeless shapes in rich colors and unique patterns. Zero G creates strong but flexible frames in very sleek silhouettes. Perfect for a professional who desires a lightweight frame that really packs a punch both in structure, durability, and style.
Masunaga Optical, originating in 1905, was the founder of the optical industry in Japan. This brand has been an leader in the ophthalmics industry since its inception due to their timeless designs. Meticulous care is evident in the countless steps of the manufacturing process; featuring beautifully hand polished Japanese acetate, durable seven barrel hinges, and distinctive silver rivets. These strong and classic acetate frames appeal to the Portlander in all of us!
Food and refreshments will be provided at the reception following the Trunk Show.
Hope to see you there!
