Our Jassim , a classic aviator in colors that evoke the passion of zealous youth, paired perfectly with Emily Burnett’s 80′s inspired collection.

This year at the Vision Expo East we had a ball showing off frames from our latest collections and seeing what our old friends had been up to and making new friends as well.
We were super honored to be included in
Eyecare Business’s
Fashion Trend’s
presentation featuring frames from Selima Optique and other luxury eyewear designers who’s eyewear designs are dictating the latest trends. Then we ended day two with a group of our incredible fellow independent vendors and retailers for Vision Expo’s
“Entering Bond 07, a customer can be in little doubt that the eyewear
selection is going to be part of a broader fashion experience, though Salaun
acknowledges that most of the store’s clients are already, in her words,
“eyewear fanatics” who are looking for a new, unique pair of frames. “When
working with customers,” she says, “you start to develop a psychological
understanding of their character and personality. It almost turns you into a
therapist in some ways, as you grow closer with them and they start to feel
more comfortable sharing their thoughts. This is a very important and
valuable characteristic of developing strong relationships that last beyond
the store itself.”

pre-Valentines Day Soirée Guests
In an effort to rev up our hearts for Valentine’s Day we welcomed our fellow
animal-loving friends from
Tamerlaine
Farm
for a night of vegan treats, by
Aviva Wolf
, and bubbles, by
Bellissima
, in the name of advocating for these amazing creatures. While
unfortunately, our animal friends were not able to join us for the party
they were definitely there in spirit and in pictures displayed on the walls
of our
Bond 07
boutique. Guests had the opportunity to “meet” some of the animals from the
farm, read their story and offered the opportunity to sponsor the animal (or
animals) of their choice. The night commenced with speeches and toasts by
Tamerlaine
Farm
Co-Founder
Gabrielle Stubbier
, Development Director Tracey Katof,
Selima Salaun
and
special guest
Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams
.

Last but not least, remember "Fear Not the Fine
Print"
A cute little friendship story we would like to share with you:
Once upon a time, Andrew Leary, the founder of
LOOK Optic
, who was then based in Los Angeles, bought a few pairs of
Selima Optique
frames. His favorite pair was the
Money !
A few years later, Andrew started a company focused on fashionable readers
at great prices. He then asked Selima, over a few drinks, if he could create
a frame inspired by his original Money and she said yes!
Mesdames et Messieurs, please meet
LIAM
, a Reader available for sun and screen (with
blue-light
blocker for those devices we’re always looking at) that comes in
two vibrant shades of Sky Blue and Bottle Green.
“Bond 07 by Selima, located at
7 Bond Street
is truly a work of art; displaying professional photography and designer
pieces throughout the store with red velvet accents to tie it all together.
It is no surprise that this location is Selima’s favorite; the experience of
visiting Bond 07 by Selima is an adventure into New York City high fashion
and glam.”
