It ain't Summer without a pair of Ksubi's

2008-05-08T17:48:00.000-07:00

That's right! Summer is nearly here and you won't be doing yourself a favor by diving in without proper gear. Never mind all that scary UV damage talk, you've heard it all before. Let's concentrate on what's important - you need to look good! So how do I go about it, you might ask?
Well if you're not in SF, you're pretty much screwed, because there is no GLARE store near you and your only option is shopping at one of those chains outlets stocked with mass produced status boosters.

But if you're in the hood, you have no excuse not to visit us. With largest selection of KSUBI sunglasses outside of their native Australia, we are ready to help you take your sunwear to the next level and spoil your inner rock star!!!
Padgett, Willy, Old, Grille and more! All new styles, hot new colors, we've got them and they are waiting for you!!

Ray Ban classics - coming soon to GLARE

2008-05-01T12:37:00.000-07:00

We thought hard and well and after much consideration we are adding Ray Ban collection of sunglasses to GLARE.
Oh, we know what some of you may say, but the truth is, who are we to fight an American icon? We looked at all the styles and all we really had to do was brush aside all the contemporary nonsense RayBan is involved with today and instead select tried and true shapes that not only look good after all these years, but function great just as well.

We'll go even further and will bring to you hard to get colors destined only for European and Japanese markets. This will take some time, but for now, you will enjoy the classics like Shooter, Caravan and others starting next week.

INTRODUCING THE BRAND

2008-04-24T22:28:00.000-07:00

Ksubi Eye is quite the force. You may not know it, but it is possible you're wearing one of their knock offs anyway. The way it looks to us, first as Tsubi and then after the lawsuit, as Ksubi, the company may have made an enormous impact on eyewear of 21st century.

Geezer, Old, Manga, the list of original designs goes on and while these frames are out of production and disappearing fast, the crowds are only starting to lust for them.

We've been huge fans of Ksubi from the beginning and it is at at GLARE where this line of sunglasses will shine. The 2008 collection is precise, inventive and refreshing and stylistically speaking, one should look no further for a pair of killer sunnies.
