OUT WITH THE NEW AND IN WITH THE OLD

Wayfarers, wayfarers, and some more wayfarers, the demand is high and contagious for these 1950’s replicas. Cited as the best selling sunglass design in history, it’s been skipping generations with a breeze. Originally designed by Raymond Stegeman in 1952, it’s made a debut almost every decade since then. From Presidents to movie stars, rock stars, artists, fashion designers to runway models, there's not a generation alive that can't remember owning (or wanting to own) a pair of these iconic sunglasses. Featured in popular flicks such as breakfast at Tiffany’s, Risky Business, Miami Vice and many, many more. It’s been a revolutionary 'must have' amongst fashion frenzy individuals.
Since its highest demand started between 2008 until present, many designers have different variations of this shape. Ok...You are adamant to find the original.
If digging through parent’s old glasses drawer in hopes of finding the original wayfarer falls though, here at Gafas expect to find nothing less then the lucrative genuine wayfarer designs. We have models like wayfarer I, wayfarer II, in solid black and various double toned colours. Even the one of a kind (probably doesn't exist any more) wayfarer II sport 1992 Albertville limited edition. So whatever your style, you’ll be sure to find it here.

Another chilling joint is 'Tattoo rock parlour'. It is just as the name implies... a bar plus tattoo parlour, with the same operating hours.

Regardless the decor is beautiful, music is amazing, the crowd is fantastic and the bartenders are more efficient than many I have come across. Rock on and enjoy the weekend!
