Vintage Eyeglasses & Optician in Los Angeles area

[bringBackSpats]

Today I went to Four Your Eyes on Venice and to my surprise and dismay the shop was no longer there. It's been probably over 5 years since I shopped there.

Does anyone know of a good place in LA to get new old stock vintage eyeglasses.

Furthermore, does anyone know of a good optician? Not LensCrafters etc. I'm looking for a true brick and mortar shop that will be able to handle vintage eyewear repairs etc.

Thanks.

There's a place on Green St. in Pasadena called Old Focals. Hotel de Ville on Rosewood at Fairfax. Jack's Eyewear on La Brea near American Rag. I heard there's a new place right next door to Alpha Man on Melrose in West Hollywood.

How about Bring Back Monocles?

Advice: If you want real vintage frames at a good price and dont mind shopping around, go look for some nice high end, single location, and ask if they have any old stock. They should have some old (vintage) stock that they will let go for cheap. If you go to a trendy store/ site, they will overcharge you by A LOT. Vintage Dunhill, Gucci, Dior and so on could run you upwards of $350 (In Toronto, ON, Canada at least) but find a good store and they will be giving it to you for nearly nothing.
