Saw this on a ponmegane's IG, Deveaux/Loewy. The Loewy (at least the dark models) are not that easy to wear imo but vintage tort is top of my list for next pair.

I tried these very frames on when I purchased the Irwins in Vintage Tort, and they were great, making my decision tough indeed. I went for the Irwins because I hadn’t anything in my collection of frames quite like them.

I found them at Vitra in South Coast Plaza’s Crystal Court, Costa Mesa, CA. I fear they have been sold, but you may wish to call and check: +1 (714) 966-2186. Marrial will know exactly which frame you are referring to, should you call.

If you get them, enjoy!

I'm glad you had a good experience with them.
I live 30 seconds from there, and every time I've gone in the stock was almost non-existent and the sales rep was really uninterested in helping me.
If you live in CDM, head the other way down PCH and check out European Optical in Laguna. The owner has been there forever, and she sourced the color way I wanted in Enzos in one day.

Thank you for the tip! I will check them out, they would be closer to me. If you try Vitra, just ask for Merrial, she is outstanding. SORRY you had a negative experience there, and it is true that they do not seem to have an abundant stock of JMM, butt Merrial has gone the distance for me in the past.
