LIMITED EDITIONS.

Every pair of Andy's Handcrafted Shades is special, but some are “specialer” than others.

Coming soon are these rare beauties... special custom shop variants limited to ONLY 25 ENUMERATIONS PER YEAR and ONE PER CUSTOMER. Each special edition was designed and purpose built to commemorate important individuals and/or events in the lives of Andy's Handcrafted Shades' students and their families.

Life is fleeting, and so are these... get them while they're available!

The M.

The first time for anything isn't easy. So many unknowns, mistakes made along the way, and yet... there's no shortcut if you want to learn and JOY in every journey!

This limited release celebrates our daughter M who was not only the first borne for Laura and myself but the oldest grandchild on BOTH sides of our family. When we first saw her tiny face, it was hard to imagine what a monumental impact she would have on all our lives as she grew into the brilliant, kind young woman she is today.

The M reflects M's pioneering spirit with its storm frame/ocean temples combo (storm was the ONLY material in initial prototypes) with an added bonus… a special release "recessed" rendition of our ORIGINAL "a" mark icon.

The eM.

In our household, we try new things... often jumping in headfirst!

This limited release is dedicated to our younger daughter eM who, like her sister, is not only smart as a whip but a gifted athlete as well.

eM excelled in indoor and beach volleyball growing up. Then, when she entered her sophomore year in high school, she abruptly decided to take on the challenge of learning to play ice hockey, a sport which she had NEVER tried before.

The eM's cloud/sky and "checkerboard" design was inspired by the jersey she proudly wears today as a defenseman on the inaugural year UT Knoxville women's ACHA hockey team.

The L.

Do we love the color orange in our household? ... what do you think?

This limited release honors the sunrise/ocean school colors of the first college Laura attended.

Although she later matriculated with degrees from two other universities, the University of Tennessee - Martin holds a special place in Laura's heart as she recounts her trials and tribulations to impart lessons from her past to our now college-aged daughters who are now making memories of their own.

Rinse, repeat, grow!

The A.

Do you have the need for speed?

Motorsports fascinate Andy (who has been on and off two wheels for over three decades) with participants who need to balance a series of split second decisions with long term strategy in order to stand on the podium.

Pictured atop his acid gold 2022 Aprilia Tuono 660, this special edition salutes the colorful liveries and personalities in MotoGP by pairing our ocean frame with lemongrass temples and matching ocean icons.

Think quick, take calculated risks, and act decisively!

Andy's LOVES youth hockey.

Not just because it's fast and cool, but also since it is an excellent way to teach our next generation to think strategically, sharpen individual skills, and work well on teams.

Founded in 2022, the Tennessee Wolverines is a fast growing girls travel hockey club home-based in Nashville TN (drawing athletes from across the Southeast US) dedicated to providing access to the sport of ice hockey. The club helps its members and communities it serves to "develop a love for the sport that continues beyond their playing days" via its 8U-19U travel teams, offseason camps, free monthly skills clinics, and "learn hockey" events held at Middle TN and satellite rinks in Knoxville TN, Huntsville AL, Louisville KY.

Dressed in the club's signature sky and ocean, "The W" commemorates TWHC's 2025 campaign as the founding member of the Central Girls Hockey League. CGHL badging adorns one temple while icons on the other reflect the hockey player mantra... eat, sleep, hockey, repeat.

Game on!
