I have a bad Rapp- for writing biased blog posts..
RAPP was originally established in 1983 as a high-end retail optical shop in Toronto, ON.
However it quickly grew from a tiny optical dispensary (that Mel, Rapps founder, originally started in the back of his moms hat shop!) into frame design & manufacturing the limited and hand-crafted optical-wear that is Rapp Eyewear.
We carry Rapp Eyewear at SPEX- it has a very individual & industrial spin on some classic frame shapes.
The frame from Rapp that I chose to feature is “Jill”.
That will be all today! ;)
