Calling All Shades Seekers: SOLSTICE Sunglass Boutique Re-Opens in New Glendale Galleria Location - Glendale, CA

GLENDALE, Calif., July 25, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Sun lovers rejoice – SOLSTICE, the upscale luxury sunglass specialty chain – officially re-opened its SOLSTICE Sunglass Boutique location today in Glendale, CA. Located now on the second level of the Glendale Galleria, SpaceCU04 (100 West Broadway), SOLSTICE features an innovative and upscale store design, a unique "hands-on" sunglass retailing approach and chic store ambience.

SOLSTICE specializes in upscale, high-end designer fashion sunglass brands, yet also offers more moderately priced bridge collections and active sport sunwear lines. There are five things that set SOLSTICE apart from other sunglass retailers:

1. SOLSTICE offers one of the largest selections of designer sunglasses than any one fashion retailer or sunglass specialty chain store.  Collections include Carrera, Dior, Emporio Armani, Giorgio Armani, Gucci, Jimmy Choo, Kate Spade, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Marc Jacobs, and YSL among others.
2. SOLSTICE receives the latest sunglass styles and is always on trend.  
3. SOLSTICE prides itself on offering unique sunglass brands such as Alexander McQueen, Balenciaga and BottegaVeneta, among others, which aren't widely available elsewhere.  
4. Unlike many other sunglass retailers, SOLSTICE offers a friendly open sell retail format.  Sunglasses are not behind a counter or under lock and key; instead, customers are encouraged to take control of their sunglass destiny and touch and try-on as many pairs as they like with maximum ease.
5. The SOLSTICE special events team has personally outfitted many of the top celebrities at events such as the Cannes Film Festival, Sundance Film Festival, Golden Globes, Grammy's, Emmy's and American Music Awards.  As a result, Solstice selling specialists are always in the know about what sunglasses the celebrities are wearing.  Many celebrities and stylists also shop regularly at SOLSTICE.  

"We are thrilled about the grand re-opening of our SOLSTICE location inside the Glendale Galleria.  Glendale is the perfect location for our upscale designer sunglass concept and we are proud to offer residents and visitors another great location to shop with us," said Rick Talmage, COO of SOLSTICE.  He added, "At SOLSTICE, we pride ourselves on being much more than just a sunglass shop.  Our unique and inviting open-sell format, incomparable assortment and high level of personal service make SOLSTICE the ultimate sunglass shopping destination."
