Leo looked in the mirror. He didn't just see a man who could finally read the menu; he saw a man who looked like he had a story to tell. He walked out of the shop with his new Eyefunc collection piece, the world suddenly feeling a lot less beige.
Leo lived a life of beige. His walls were oatmeal, his coffee was black, and his glasses—thin, wiry things—had been perched on his nose for a decade, practically invisible to the world. But one Tuesday, the left hinge gave out, and Leo found himself squinting at the vibrant collection of Eyefunc frames at the local boutique.
