Mercura NYC
Jump to Comments
I’m no sunglasses expert, I’ve never actually properly worn a pair- however I feel that for the past few years I’ve not really seen much other than over sized Victoria Beckham/Olsen twin frames and plain aviators. So it’s good to see Mercura NYC taking sunglasses in a different direction. Although it sounds odd there’s something sinister and creepy about these frames, like they would fit in well in a Tim Burton film (I think Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka had something of a similar feel) I’m going to have nightmares about these things. After all that; well done Mercura, I love them!
More after the jump.

Curious you should mention Johnny Depp because he made a movie in the East Village in 1987 called ‘Crash’ and Nick Cave, the main character in the movie, wore our glasses.
Nothing creates more drama than seeing something creepy and sinister on a beautiful person.
Over the decades Mercura has made 10’s of thousands of one-of-a-kind frames inspiring less
controversial eyewear designers who strive to compete and thus changing the face of eyewear.
Thank you for your wonderful article,

Once again, thank you for the wonderful collage of pics. Have you been checking our facebook profile? Did you see the gorgeous fashion show spring/summer 2010 of Indashio, Glamgod Vh1 winner, with our futuristic frames?
Warnest regards,
