STYLE: Style.Pages Style.Pages Check.Out: Specs New York By Deirdre Carroll Monday, September 14, 2015 12:00 AM #TheCOLLECTION Coco & Breezy Coco & Breezy is not only an eyewear company. They believe everything you touch should be a piece of art. As a brand, they highlight originality with a classic twist and the eyewear collection includes a lot of combination frames that mix acetate and metal. Geometric shapes and art deco are big influences and inspiration when it comes to the brand’s aesthetic. Coco & Breezy pride themselves on engineering glasses with unique shapes that focus on functionality while still enhancing the face. MSRP is $200 to $310. @Retail Yoel Heistein Co-Owner, Specs New York, New York, NY “The unique frames from Coco & Breezy are an opportunity to stand out from a crowd of aviators and wayfarers.” What are you selling? Last summer, a gentleman dressed fresh head to toe came in and asked if we’d be interested in participating in a treasure hunt. Dwane represented a pair of edgy and chic designers who hosted treasure hunts via Instagram (they had over 50K followers at the time). Intrigued by the idea and by the two hip and beautiful women he introduced me to—sisters Coco and Breezy—they showed me a few of the most unique and fun frames I’d ever seen. I fell in love with their gorgeous collection and also with them. They are two of the kindest, most talented and driven designers I ever met. Who’s buying it? While celebrities like Lady Gaga, Prince, Beyoncé and Rihanna wear Coco & Breezy frames, often European tourists will come in asking for a specific style. I think their collection transcends genre and speaks to anyone interested in edgy fashion looking to make a statement. Why do they like it? My customers see sunglasses as the ultimate accessory, an opportunity to bring together their look and reflect their style. One of the unique features in Specs New York is our displays; every frame is available to try on without assistance. This accessibility allows for customers to take a risk and try something new, an opportunity perfect for the cutting edge and unique styles in Coco & Breezy’s collection.
