French luxury eyewear comany Lafont pulled a fast one on everybody in 2007, releasing stellar 20th anniversary frames (pictured), to special friends only. There was literally no way to get your hands on a pair — ever — unless you knew someone. Now, the company apparently feels the guilt, and has released the frames to all of us other people. You can only find them at one Chicago shop, Contacts and Specs, and we're guessing they don't exactly have an endless supply of these beauties. So, get there quick and be the optical envy of all your friends.
Contacts and Specs, 3144 North Broadway; 773-880-5400.
Lafont 20th Anniversary frames, $453.
