. . . has been around since 2004 - starting with collecting, refurbishing, restoring and trading original old vintage glasses and sunglasses.
Thanks to many years of selling at markets in Berlin, the name Brillovsky has achieved a certain degree of recognition, and not just among Berliners. Brillovsky stands for old, beautiful eyewear design, between classic and extraordinary. Today, the collection includes vintage glasses and vintage sunglasses from the entire 20th century with a focus on the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s and 1990s - original, individual, original.
The enthusiasm for original designs from the decades of the last century of furniture, architecture, clothing or accessories is the driving force behind the creation of Brillovsky. Holding an object in your hands that is several decades old and is no longer manufactured or available on the regular market is something special. It is often the subtleties, the colour or the material that make the difference between the original and the retro. If you own an original pair of glasses, there is a very good chance that no-one else can come up with the same model, that it is unique in the true sense of the word. Preserving the old - this is only conservative in a moral sense, in terms of design it is often the exact opposite and is often motivated by not wanting to chase after every fast-moving fashion. The wearer of glasses or sunglasses as an accessory can also express something to the outside world, namely his or her very own taste, which at the same time can give original and unadulterated expression to his or her preference for the spirit of a very specific time.
