Nordstrom’s ongoing series of themed pop-up shops–director of creative projects Olivia Kim’s brainchild dubbed Pop-In@Nordstrom–is focusing on styles for the eyes this time ’round.

The Seattle-based luxury department store has partnered with designer eyewear retailer Warby Parker to bring you four brand-new exclusive pairs of sunglasses, including Hall, Haskell, Banks and Barkley, and a curated selection of frames. As for prescriptions to go along with those glasses, we’re told all prescription orders will route through Warby Parker’s regular checkout process; if you purchase prescription sunglasses or glasses, you’ll deal with a WP associate, while all other orders are placed through a Nordstrom associate.

Stop into the downtown Seattle flagship or Bellevue Square location (or key in nordstrom.com/pop) between Friday, August 7 and Sunday, September 6 to procure a pair–or two–for your peepers. Bonus: The pop-up shop will also feature a few literary extras for sale, including Pike St. Press notecards adorned with art from WP’s in-house illustrator and McSweeney’s books.

“Nordstrom’s approach to customer service has long been equal parts sagacious, innovative and thoughtful,” Warby Parker’s co-founder and co-ceo Dave Gilboa said in a statement. “When Olivia [Kim] asked us to team up, we didn’t think twice.”

Pop-In@Nordstrom + Warby Parker: August 7 to September 6 at the downtown Seattle and Bellevue Square locations. Or click to nordstrom.com/pop

Edited on August 7 to reflect that Chemex products will not be available for purchase in the pop-up shop.
