The Founders Story

The concept for Peculiar Creatures came after many days of going from store to store trying on variations of similar frames. I love eyewear. I wear them every single day of my life. I wanted something more than acetate plastic or simple metal frames brought to us by Luxottica Group (Ray Ban, Oliver Peoples, Persol, Armani, Chanel, Prada, Sunglass Hut, LensCrafters, etc) or Warby Parker.

I sought to challenge myself to create an independent company using unique materials. Crystals seemed like a perfect candidate. Their metaphysical properties combined with high fashion. Each stone has a unique color and texture designed by mother nature herself.

I spent two years teaching myself how to turn crystals into eyeglasses. There was no manual on this. There was A LOT of trial and error, but as time went on I was able to create sturdy and fashionable set of frames. Peculiar frames that shout out with distinctive colors and person wearing them can feel their energy.

I am an artist, so I thoroughly enjoy working with my hands and figuring out how to make ideas come to fruition.
