History
Minnesota born and bred, TJ Chanthasene and Ryan Polehonka grew up in the same neighborhood in Eagan and have been friends for nearly 20 years. And apart from going attending college out of state, both call the Twin Cities home. TJ and Ryan worked in the eyewear industry for several years, and they began to realize there were better ways to get eyewear to the people. In 2012, they created Huxley. Huxley Eyewear is based on the belief that you shouldn't have to take out a mortgage to buy fashionable glasses. And whether you're a trend follower or trendsetter, Huxley scours the planet for the coolest, most fashion-forward frames and brings them to you. In fact TJ and Ryan don't just own Huxley, they are co-Chief Style Specialists.
