A second act, handcrafted one frame at a time. 👓
After nearly four decades in the optical industry, licensed optician Douglas Gaudet has returned to the creative side of eyewear, designing and handmaking frames through his new venture, Beech Street Eyeworks and Accessories.
Working primarily with cellulose acetate sourced from Italy and China, Douglas lets the material lead the process, exploring unexpected colour combinations, laminations and forms to create frames that are truly one of a kind.
It’s craftsmanship, optical experience and creative independence coming together in a distinctly Canadian eyewear story. 🇨🇦

AYA Eyewear
AYA Eyewear brings art, culture and storytelling into contemporary frame design. The collection features artwork by renowned First Nations artist Corrine Hunt, whose designs draw inspiration from her Kwakwaka’wakw and Tlingit heritage, family history and the natural world of the Pacific Northwest.
Hunt’s distinctive artwork transforms each frame into a wearable canvas, bringing traditional themes and visual storytelling into modern eyewear. The result is a collection that is expressive, meaningful and unmistakably AYA.
