Make your way to Caserta Eye to get the details on these frames.

Caserta Eye

This eyewear shop is a standout establishment in the Meatpacking District, specializing in both new and vintage. We asked Paul Battiste, the owner of Caserta Eye, to share three to four of his sunglass selections for summer, and we ended up walking out of the shop with twelve pairs, six new and six vintage. Of those twelve, two were vintage Christian Dior sunglasses, and one pair of new sunglasses that made this writer feel like they were Edna Mode (in a very positive way!). We are sure that if we had stayed there for even a minute more, we would’ve left with twenty pairs. A trip to Caserta Eye is like opening a treasure chest; you might not know what’s inside, but you know it will be good.

The sunglasses have already been purchased by a Meatpacking staff member.

Visit Caserta Eye at 67 Eighth Ave.

Krewe

Maison du KREWE, is a multi-purpose space blending European allure with New York's electric atmosphere. Paying homage to their French Louisiana heritage, MDK offers a bespoke line of sunglasses. Duane Littles, Assistant Flagship Store Manager, selected four shades for summer: Sasha in Cherry ($295), DEDE NYLON in Canary 18K ($325), VAIL in 18K Titanium + Harlequin ($335), and Harrison in Tortuga Noir ($255). To improve your already fun shopping experience, grab a glass of wine at the wine bar.

Warby Parker

The team at Warby selected three perfect shades for summer: Vilma in Yuzu Crystal ($95), Nemsey in Cattail Tortoise Matte ($95), and Vanessa in Brushed Ink ($145). Sitting between a rectangular, round, and cat-eye shape, the Vilma captures the charm of each in one polished pair with a subtly sculpted browline and clever keyhole nose bridge. The Nemsey brings a pinch of personality to its unflappable navigator shape. The Vanessa pairs a cat-eye silhouette with delicate metalwork to create a reimagined, nostalgia-inducing shape. The Meatpacking team was particularly intrigued by the newly released Vanessa and likely already grabbed a pair before you even read this.
