BOUTIQUE SPOTLIGHT: CATEYE SPECTACLES IN HOLLYWOOD
Being a huge fan of anything vintage and vintage inspired, it was a given that I would step intoCateye Spectacles, a boutique specializing in vintage, vintage inspired and living deadstock eyewear. Owner Sung Kim opened his doors to Los Angeles two and a half years ago in East Hollywood. Having worked for several years in optometry and with a leading Los Angeles eyewear company his appreciation for the fashion of eyewear grew. He dreamed of someday opening his own business.
