4 | www.bensilver.com Our first eyewear collection—a page in our clothing and furnishings catalog—began years ago with Bob’s inability to purchase a replacement for his own signature shape, “demi-blond” tortoise shell eyeglass frames. At the same time, customers frequently inquired whether the glasses Bob wore in photos in our “Ben Silver Collection” catalog were available through our company. Lafont of Paris had made Bob’s favorite frames, but had “retired” the shape and color. We asked Lafont to recreate the “Pantheon” shape and demi-blond faux tortoise color from their archives, and they agreed to do so for us exclusively. The demi-blond, faux tortoise shell, “Pantheon” shape frame from Lafont is available in five sizes: S-small, 46 mm; I-intermediate, 48 mm; M-medium, 50 mm; ML-medium/large, 52 mm; L-large, 54 mm.
