ON SPECS: Fans of the late Yves Saint Laurent’s dark tortoiseshell specs can now get their mitts on their own made-to-measure pair. Along with his two sons, Franck and Steven, the creator of the glasses, Christian Bonnet, who is believed to be one of the world’s last two remaining masters of the rare raw material, has just opened a store in Paris. Situated on the Rue des Petits Champs, a hop away from Palais Royal, the Maison Bonnet boutique specializes in made-to-measure eyewear made from horn, acetate and tortoiseshell from the family’s stock.
