At Suburban Opticians, we are thrilled to present the NORAVANK frame now in Transparent Hunter Green, an exquisite addition to our eyewear collection. This stunning piece is part of DANSHARIAN’s Armenian Soul Collection. Our optical shop is the only place you can get it in Washington State! Designed by the visionary Alain Miklitarian, the NORAVANK frame is a perfect fusion of art, elegance, and heritage—a true testament to the breathtaking beauty and soul of Armenia.
The Transparent Hunter Green colorway of NORAVANK is an attention-grabbing yet sophisticated shade, evoking the natural landscapes of Armenia—its lush forests, rolling hills, and rugged mountains. Every curve and contour of these frames reflects the artistic, cultural, and historical essence of this magnificent land, making them more than just eyewear but a celebration of Armenian heritage.
The Story Behind DANSHARIAN Eyewear
DANSHARIAN Eyewear is a unique brand born from a powerful collaboration between Alain Miklitarian, an eyewear designer renowned for revolutionizing the industry, and Danshari, a Japanese manufacturing powerhouse. Together, they created eyewear that combines meticulous craftsmanship with a deep cultural narrative. Miklitarian’s Armenian roots are at the heart of every design in the collection. The name DANSHARIAN itself reflects his heritage—“ian” in Armenian means “son of,” symbolizing the connection to his family and culture.

The Armenian Soul Collection pays tribute to the colorful landscapes and joyful spirit of Armenia. Through carefully selected materials, Miklitarian captures the light and beauty of Armenian villages perched in the mountains, surrounded by nature. The laminated acetate temples with their colored titanium cores mimic the delicate beauty of this landscape, while the sculpted frames offer elegance and refinement.

The NORAVANK frame itself is part of this story, where timeless design meets cutting-edge technology. DANSHARIAN’s Flat Temple System (FTS) ensures a flawless fit with a patented design that allows the temples to close perfectly, preventing any tension or deformation. This innovative system epitomizes DANSHARIAN’s pursuit of flawless elegance and unparalleled comfort, making each pair of frames not just a piece of art, but also a practical and durable accessory for everyday life.
Suburban Opticians is proud to be the only optical shop in Washington offering this elegant piece, now available in Transparent Hunter Green. (Just in time for St. Patrick’s Day, anyone?)
Why Designer Glasses Are a Worthwhile Investment
When it comes to eyewear, investing in designer eyewear like DANSHARIAN brings far more than just a stylish look. Designer glasses provide superior quality, perfect fit, and unique style that mass-produced glasses simply cannot match. Here’s why designer frames at Suburban Opticians are a worthwhile investment.
1. Exceptional Craftsmanship and Durability
The NORAVANK frame, like all DANSHARIAN designs, is meticulously crafted from premium materials such as high-quality acetate and titanium. These materials ensure that your frames will withstand the test of time, offering both durability and a lightweight feel. Unlike cheaper alternatives, designer frames are made to last, meaning you won’t have to replace them frequently.
Designer eyewear brands focus on the highest level of craftsmanship. In the case of DANSHARIAN, advanced technologies like the Flat Temple System (FTS) and superior materials create frames that are as comfortable as they are long-lasting.

2. The Perfect Fit
A great pair of glasses should feel like a natural extension of your face, not something you constantly adjust. With designer frames, the focus is on achieving the perfect fit. Every frame will sit comfortably on your face, with precise measurements and attention to detail in the frame’s shape, temple length, and nose pads. The NORAVANK frame is no exception—its sculpted design and lightweight materials provide a fit that feels custom-tailored to your face.
At Suburban Opticians, we ensure that your eyewear fits perfectly by offering personalized fittings and adjustments, so your glasses feel as great as they look.
3. Unique Styles and Timeless Elegance
Designer eyewear is about more than just function—it’s about making a statement. Consider the NOVARANK frame—a piece you won’t find anywhere else in Washington! Similarly, every David Spencer frame is handmade in Japan, and for Caviar eyewear, only 1,000 pieces are made of each design. Designer glasses are truly a standout look that elevates your style.
When you invest in designer eyewear, you get a piece of art that tells a story—whether it’s about your own style or the cultural narrative behind the design.

At Suburban Opticians, we offer more than just a place to buy glasses—we provide an experience.
