The frames made famous by Dizzy Gillespie, define what is cool!

These shiny black frames, with their rhythmic angles, and sense of self-satisfaction were first made prominent when worn by the musical inventor of BeBop, the brilliant jazz artist, Dizzy Gillespie. He used to complain to Charlie Parker ('The Bird") about not being able to find frames that expressed his inner cool, but then he encountered these, and the rest is history. The eyewear industry, in recognition of Dizzy Gillespie's gift of a new popular style of frames, bestowed on him the honor of naming the frames after his musical invention. Others soon caught the Bebop frames bug. You probably have seen these frames on the faces of writers, rock and roll stars, revolutionaries and bold thinkers of every stripe. Recently the young Capitalists running the dot-coms in Silicon Valley have adopted BeBops as their own, although some have put a piece of tape on the bridge as a proud badge of their techno-stardom.

BeBops # 4-1 $104 Our BeBops are truly authentic. They are made from mold casted, metal reinforced, Zyl resins. The color is achieved by using European tincture and glaze to achieve the glint in the black. These frames can also be made into genuine, "BLUES BROTHERS" style sunglasses by simply adding a dark shaded lens color and UV filters.

Many other celebrities have adopted the BeBops as a symbol of independence, strength or non-conformity that they want associated with their persona. Just think of the glasses you naturally associate with Woody Allen, Arthur Miller, Charles De Gaul and Malcolm X (to say nothing of the movie characters, the Blues Brothers, who excited interest in BeBops as sun glasses). Indeed, you would need an encyclopedia of pop-culture and distinguished figures in modern history to adequately gauge the diverse crowd of notables who have chosen to affiliate themselves with these classics.

We know you will love owning and wearing BeBops. Something special happens to you when you put them on.
