Eyewear Inspired by You
With 35 years of history, Exhibit Collectors + Creatives has built a reputation for unique and creative eyewear, collector pieces, special edition releases and “one of like” authentic vintage. Come experience what we do.
It’s no coincidence that our customers are as unique and diverse as our eyewear collection. We have a common passion for creative eyewear, and that is what connects us.
Don’t settle for boring frames. We are here to help you make a statement with your eyewear.
Our Frames & Lenses
It is our job to know what frames will work best with your face shape, features, colours, prescription, and lifestyle. So, let us do the work! You sit, we choose.
While our lenses will help you see clearly, that isn’t our only goal. We want to pair you up with glasses that you’ll never want to put down. If you need your prescription updated, we are happy to recommend some local optometrists.
Kick back and relax while our staff brings a selection of worthy contenders to you. You might even leave with a pair that you never knew you could pull off–and you do pull them off.
