OWNDAYS' passion for glasses is evident and well-articulated. Aside from their humanitarian works and fashion shows featuring their spectacles, you might, as with me, be enthused by how well they exemplify their passion in smaller ways with uncompromising details, too, and catch their vibes.
Enjoy the following sampler:-
Yes, there is even a short story waxing lyrical over a pair of glasses which I find novel and refreshing (made my day!).
Revealed With Time
"My father was a heavy-handed person. He would always lose things, he couldn't even remember where he'd put the remote control a moment ago. He also broke things occasionally.
And even if he lost his wallet, he just sighed and didn't let it bother him. But there was something he really looked after. That something was his old glasses. Beaten up and covered in marks due to my father's roughness over the years, no matter how many times they broke he never threw them away and always had them repaired.
It's been three years since he passed away. I was called back home by my mother for the first time in a long time to sort through his belongings. I found his battered glasses in his study. I thought about throwing them away but my mother seemed embarrassed to tell me she'd given them to my father when she was young.
I felt I knew why my rough father had valued those glasses so much. My mother looked nostalgically at them, and I stopped her as she was about to put these ownerless glasses into the box.
Spontaneously, I tried on my father's glasses. My face reflected in the mirror looked just like my youthful father's did in photographs."
Well, when shopping for a pair of glasses at OWNDAYS or elsewhere, you need to know what you want -- the type of frames (e.g., plastic, metal, resin, celluloid, stainless steel or titanium) and the type of lenses (e.g., high index, progressive, colour or blue-light reduction).
Once you have settled the aforesaid qualities of the frame and lens as well as the price you are prepared to pay, then shop happily for the style of glasses that would exemplify the best of you. Put them on and look into the nearest mirror!
