| D.O.R.K. red D1 Jim Di Carlo HQʻs |
Aloha yʻall!
I am not a dork, Iʻm a nerd and I L.O.V.E. D.O.R.K. sunglasses! The D.O.R.K. sunglasses are by Jim Di Carlo, who is also B-Ware, a "progressive clothing brand successfully filling the gaps between street, surf and skate culture" with his partner Jonathan Boulware. There is a B-Ware store at 1147 Smith Street next to Otto cakes in C-town, Honolulu, HI. I recently rode out to the North Shore with Jim to pick up the glasses for BIRDS IN THE CITY.
I asked about the location of the store, itʻs definitely on an interesting neighborhood block, in C- Town, Jim replied that he likes the location and the "griminess" is a plus. Here is a tip, if you go to the store and the Be Right Back sign is up look no further than across the street at the pull up bars. Jim DiCarlo is on a "Health is Wealth and Movement in Medicine" kick. From the car ride I learnt that Jim is the creative director, marketing, brand identity half. Partner Jonathan handles the whole sale end, which means more B-Ware in stores across the universe and Jim has chickens! Their B-Ware store has their clothing, D.O.R.K. sunglasses and other designers including a swimwear line. Check out the store in person if you are a Hawaii resident or visitor at the above mentioned location and/or their online store www.bwareville.com.
There are two styles of D.O.R.K. sunglasses , the D1 and the D2 and they are $20.00 a pair. D1 is the bigger, chunkier frame available in 10 colors, D2 is the aviator frame available in six colors. These sunglasses are a current favorite of mine and in case you are wondering... I do own a white D1 pair. Check out D.O.R.K. sunglasses on the models at BIRDS IN THE CITY, May 20 from 7-10pm at Lotus Downtown 34 N. Hotel Street. Peep it!
