C Magazine, the premiere magazine on California Style, invited SF Optics to style their ‘Beach Chic’ photo shoot with our eyewear. And when we heard ‘beach,’ the first thing that came to mind was Mosley Tribes Sunglasses!
The brainchild of Oliver Peoples’ founder Larry Leight, Mosley Tribes is a surfer lifestyle inspired collection combined with the design, knowledge and aesthetic of Oliver Peoples Luxury Eyewear.
Check out the March 2010 Spring Fashion issue of C Magazine with Renée Zellweger on the cover, and with our styled photo shoot inside! The featured frames are the Mosley Tribes Chambers and the Mosley Tribes Gates as seen below. (Scroll to the bottom to purchase these frames).

Check out this recent review of our website that we just came across. And we got kudos on our webisodes. Apparently, we aren’t horrible on camera after all!

Optical Websites We Like – SF Optics
When thinking about doing a website, or updating your optical website- take a look at www.sfoptics.com. The site came to our attention because the blog section shows up in our google alerts. (A good thing)
What we like:
Home page : A welcoming ‘Come See Us’- in big letters with and an ‘insider view; of what is in the store: Plus: Styled by SF Optics-, hours opened, address, contact, email, phone and Twitter, YouTube and Facebook in BIG LETTERS. No need to search for contact and address info. I love the fact they have an email address. Yeah they get spam, but they want to make it as easy as possible to contact them.
At the top of the page: I don’t really like the black, but that is a personal thing: The top tabs should always stand out: Home, About Us, Contact (nice touch with a little picture of the store) Events- (I really like the calendar) Eyewear ( products listed), Press- (Makes them look like celebrities) YouTube Videos plus print) Blog (how they show up in search engines, and how they promote their office) Webisodes: (Humanizing and fun engaging the customer) Shop Online- and Search.
Event and Trunk Show Calendar
Since I am huge believer in Trunk Shows and special events in the store, I love this calendar part, it’s obviously planned out for the year and it can help their patients and future patients plan ahead for financial expenditures! It looks like they have at least one trunk show a month.
Recent Blog Posts: RSS Feed
Recent Blog posts vis RSS feed is predominately featured from their blog to their website. As you can see they really promote themselves, the products they stock with celebrities. Good key word search, image enhancer, plus most people want to go where the movie stars go.!
I reviewed some of their webisodes, and they were funny and humanizing. If I lived in San Francisco, I would go there to buy my glasses because the guys look like they are fun and would make me laugh, plus the product looks great.

On April 3rd, 2009, Examiner.com did a feature on us written by Dino-Ray Ramos. Check it out:
All Eyes on SF Optics
The streets of the Marina have a small town feel with eclectic charm that still resonates the aura of San Francisco. On a nice day, this is, by far the place to be – and what better way to enjoy a sunny day in the Marina than with a nice pair of sunglasses (or a pair of regular spectacles at that) from SF’s swanky boutique of specs, SF Optics.
The name of the shop may sound like an ordinary place to get some shades, but don’t let the name fool you. Under the tutelage of Alex Feldman, SF Optics has the fashionable mainstays in the world of glasses (Chanel, Gucci, Robert Marc, Prada, Marc Jacobs), but they up the ante and then some with pieces that are unique and will rest on your head with style.
Brands like Gold & Wood combine a sense of nostalgia with urban flair via frames made out of actual wood. But it’s the Ete glasses that will pull you in, the frames encase feathers – yes you heard that right – FEATHERS. But don’t worry, no birds were harmed in making the glasses.
If these uber-chic glasses aren’t your cup of tea SF Optics has a buffet of specs you can choose from including in-vogue Ray Ban wayfarers and aviators of all types (a necessity in everyone’s accessory arsenal). Their newest Oliver Peoples collection is indeed the hot item of the moment. Modeled by their newest poster gal Zooey Deschanel, the new line is sealed with a kiss by the actress – literally. Each pair has a “kiss” from the beautiful Zooey.
