We are being asked a lot by return customers what is the alternative to rimless glasses. Rimless glasses were very popular 20 years ago and over the decades they gradually came out of style. The last fashion push was probably by Sarah Pallin, a VP presidential candidate in the US, which was 14 years ago. So many people asked what glasses was she wearing. It was rimless glasses. But even today, Sarah Pallin is not wearing those anymore.

From over 10,000 styles that are offered on our website, only 30 are rimless glasses. Some brands don't even have one pair of rimless frames.

The reason people loved rimless glasses was that they opened up a face. There is no frame around the lenses, and the face is clear and open. Rimless glasses worked for all skin tones, and you didn't have to worry about the shape of the lens as the lens is meant to be seamless. But the trends over the years evolved around the crispier image of the glasses and most people agreed that nice glasses look great and add much more to the personality.

I think, if you want to make the transition from rimless to rimmed, you should go with plastic transparent frames. Transparent plastic glasses gained huge popularity over the decade and are now among the most trending styles. Transparent color does the same as rimless, it opens up the face and creates a seamless look. We have hundreds of styles in transparent color or a combination on our website.

At Illuminata Eyewear, we offer a huge variety of transparent glasses frames in different shapes, colors, and brands. Shop at our store or on our website and find your next favorite pair of glasses.

This year St. Valentine's Day will be grandiose. Finally, unlimited parties, unlimited dating, and unlimited love. It's time to start thinking of the best gift for your lady. At Illuminata Eyewear, we believe that Tiffany & Co sunglasses is the most romantic, practical, and cherished gift. There are many reasons for that.

The first reason is that Tiffany & Co makes stunning sunglasses. Tiffany sunglasses follow the annual collection and are made with elements used for precious metal jewelry, diamond rings, necklaces, earrings, and other pieces that are priced many times more than sunglasses. This year, 2023, the Tiffany T collection and Tiffany HardWare collection both have a few sunglasses as part of the collection.

The second reason is that, most likely, you will travel this year for a lovely vacation. Or you will go out a lot and seeing your lady in Tiffany sunglasses will be just a delight to your eyes. Every time she puts on sunglasses, she will remember this year's St. Valentine's Day. Memories are priceless.

The third reason is that Tiffany sunglasses are made of the highest quality. Handcrafted in Italy, they are made of the highest quality acetate. High-quality acetate is what makes sunglasses feel soft and self-adjust over time for the best fit. The warmth of the face will soften the plastic and make it take shape that is more comfortable for you. And adjusting by hand is also very easy with high-quality acetate. The sun lens provides the highest UV protection for your eyes, ensuring the best vision.

The fourth reason is the style. Tiffany sunglasses, like jewelry, are made in classic shapes and styles. They are meant to last a lifetime and survive decades of ever-changing trends. You wouldn't change your diamond ring due to the evolving trends, would you? Same for sunglasses. They will last for a long time and make your lady look rich and beautiful.

The fifth reason you would love to know. It's a Tiffany iconic box. All Tiffany sunglasses come in a Tiffany blue box.

That is why we love to touch and try to be sure we choose the best-looking, trending, and non-redundant glasses for our displays.

Fashion is moving on in 2021. The world is opening up, and new hopes are rising across the globe. While we in Canada definitely are stuck for a long time, we need to keep our spits up. The pandemic taught us many lessons, one being that the personal happiness and happiness of the family are the most important in hard times. We need to cheer each other and talk about nice things to get our days to go by a bit better.

Small business is on the brink of extinction in Canada. Because Canadian cities are so spread out, stores are far from homes, and offices are concentrated in zones, people here have been early adopters of online shopping. By closing down business without any warning, most small businesses weren't prepared to survive in an online world. This allowed large chains to thrive and small businesses to close. The consumer is further pushed to shop online.

At Illuminata Eyewear, we believe that small business is a retainer of culture. You don't expect to have a conversation in a large store with the owner. Over the past year, we often find ourselves having long discussions with our customers. We provide mental support and try to cheer you up. We are keyholders to promoting fashion, which in itself is a mental savior for many people. People often call us from all over the world, UK, Australia, USA, to inquire about glasses and talk about life.

We shop from small businesses as much as possible, which was problematic due to such a lack of websites. At Illuminata Eyewear, we are prepared to serve you online by having a complete service website with vast selections of products. We invite you to shop on our website, call us anytime with inquiries, schedule an appointment for your vision needs. We welcome you to visit our store whenever you can. 

Keep your spirits up! Check out new glasses and sunglasses styles. Discuss new trends with your family and friends. Make a wish list. Have a laugh! And remember, this country will not be fun without small business.
