You are Welcome, Martha!

You are Welcome, Martha!
A couple of weeks ago I was in my hood on the Upper East Side of Manhattan enjoying a beautiful night with a friend and just as we were getting ready to leave, I bumped into Martha Stewart. Everyone that knows me, knows I am a complete Southern Bell and as soon as I saw her I threw my arms around her, gave her a big kiss on each cheek, and exclaimed that I am a total admirer of her. I think I startled her…actually, I KNOW I startled her, but she “went with it” as if we were old pals. The friend I was with made me realize that I probably went a little too far with my friendliness, and I’m sure I did. When I came into my office on the following Monday, I sent Martha a pair of Sunglasses and an Optical frame, along with a note apologizing for practically attacking her out of my shear excitement over meeting her. I never thought much about it again until today when a personal thank you note came in the mail from her.
We send our products to people all the time and rarely, if ever, do we receive a thank you. I can only imagine the letters and products that Martha receives, yet she made the effort to thank me, personally.
Martha…you have talent and character on every level. All the best to YOU and
Thank You, Martha!
Sincerely,
Cindy

Velvet Reviews that makes us smile

We found a few reviews from Velvet customers we like to share with our readers and fans. We love what we do and so do you!

5.0 out of 5 starsBetter than any high-end sunglasses,April 26, 2012

By C. Foley 

I am a sunglasses snob and usually buy high-end because I need superior lenses for my problem/sensitive eyes. I can honestly say that these are the best frames AND lenses I’ve ever owned. These are not plastic (as many of the expensive brands are); rather, they are strong, solid acetate that don’t give way to the elements over time (ie, they don’t lose their shape or fit). Acetate means “greener” for the environment as well. I’ve done my homework; these lenses are top- notch. They fit well on my face, and I have a slightly narrow face. And yet they also fit beautifully on my friend, who has a rounder face. Since the frames are larger, they really block the light, even from the sides. Worth every penny!

5.0 out of 5 starsWonderful Glasses,June 22, 2012

By Margaret Jones (CONCORD, MA, US)

Sophisticated, finely crafted glasses. Subtle light chartreuse color. Lenses are not too dark but take away glare. Speedy service with a purple box.

Velvet + Roger Vivier = Perfect Match

We instantly fell love with the hand-painted sky-blue pumps, which were inspired by Frisoni’s photo of a Tangier sunset. Pair these pumps with one of our frames for great summer look.

Alice + Olivia Fall 2012

JAMI  Velvet Eyewear
One of our favorite designers, Alice + Olivia, did not disappoint this season. Founder Stacey Bendet presented everything from sweet frilly dresses and floral prints to sequins and fur. Our yellow crystal Jami sunglasses would look great with this look!

Proenza Schouler Fall 2012

JOIE – Velvet Eyewear
Always the trendsetter, Proenza Schouler held nothing back last night. The designers featured boxy collared shirts, loose fitting pants, and plenty of black and white. This is one of our favorite looks from their Fall 2012 collection. Our black Joie cat eye sunglasses would be a perfect addition to this look!

Window shopping is especially fun during the holiday season because department stores around the country go all out in celebration of the holiday season. Here’s a few department stores in New York City, home to stunning holiday window displays, that we think certainly out-did themselves this year!
