+ What if I'm not in the Vancouver area?

We can figure something out! If you have an old pair of frames that fit well and you're not using at the moment, you could send them to me and I can base the dimensions from them. Otherwise, we can base measurements from your current frames, or we can use carefully placed rulers to measure from photos of your face

+ Do these frames come with lenses?

No, they do not. You can take them to your Optician to fit your prescription lenses into them. The frames will open up and a qualified Optician can easily fit the lenses. If you'd like I could recommend where to go to get them fitted correctly.

+ How long does it take?

Short Answer: Anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 months or more depending on design & material choices

Long Answer: Once it's your turn, there'll be an interview where we cover materials and design direction. I'll need photos of you to start the design. After the interview there could be up to 2-3weeks of design revisions, where I will make some renderings and send them back to you, and get feedback. Depending on the design choices, I may need time to source new materials to meet your requirements.

The building process alone takes a minimum of 20 hours of shop time, and most likely more.

+ What if, at the end of the process, I don't like them?

The payment structure is such that, outside of the non-refundable design deposit, you can choose not to accept the final product. If this is the case you will not be responsible for the final payment. If the frames do not meet your expectation, we can hopefully work amicably to satisfy your concerns.

+ What happens if they break?

These frames are customized art for your face; I do not recommend using them for high strain activities. I do not sell in volume and cannot be held responsible for accidental damage. If there is an issue due to materials or workmanship, LET ME KNOW! I will make every reasonable effort to rectify the situation. Even if you do accidentally break them, contact me and I'll assess what I can do to repair or remedy the problem.

+ What payment options are there?

There are many ways to pay.

• Cash always works.
• I can accept Credit Cards in person through Square Register.
• Email Interac transfers.
• Are you a Bitcoin junky? I am considering accepting Bitcoins as well, but am still investigating that option.
• I do NOT accept cheques or money orders

+ $1000 or more, Are you nuts?

No. No part of the process is automated. I personally, not some underpaid laborer in a foreign country, will spend many, many hours carefully designing and fabricating (By Hand) each pair from scratch exclusively for you. We're talking a minimum of 30 hours total from start to finish. I'm not going to get rich doing this; this is what it costs to make while enabling me to afford to live a semi-normal life. If that's more than you want to pay, ok

+ Is there a waitlist?

YES! At the moment I have put this project on hold pending the launch of some exciting new products and researching some new techniques. If you're still interested, contact me and I'll be happy to discuss when and what we can do!
