About Us

In our world, nothing is boring. We create unexpected design solutions for life’s everyday tasks, because sometimes the simplest things make the biggest impact.

You spent a lot of time picking out the perfect eyeglasses, so why set them aside, only to lose them? Eyeglassholders.com features our distinctive line of sophisticated eyeglass leashes, pins, and accessories that keep eyeglasses close while adding a unique style element into your wardrobe. We prove men do make passes at women who wear glasses (and the other way around) . . . especially when worn with style and confidence.

Bonitas International is spreading its design ideas far and wide. We have won “Hottest New Gift Market Product” (2004), “Best New Gift Product Award” (2007) from Ocra Communication, and most recently named a Finalist for "Most Innovative Company of the Year" in the Stevie Awards for Women in Business. We have been featured in articles and “must have” lists worldwide, including the New York Times, USA Today, Business Week, Woman’s World, and the Wall Street Journal. You may have even seen us on the Today Show, Fox News, or MSNBC. We love that Entrepreneur.com recently said we were, "Redefining Workplace Chic!"

Who We Are

Our lines come from real world experience. As a pediatric nurse in Cincinnati, OH, Lisa Harrington rebelled against those dismally boring shoelace style lanyards she had to wear everyday, cleverly turning the problem into a magnificent design opportunity. After making her own hand beaded, necklace style lanyards, fellow employees wanted more, and soon she had a thriving family business.

Seeing that Lisa had found and filled a truly underserved design niche, sister-in-law and downsized corporate executive, Kimberly Martinez, imagined making an even bigger impact. The accessories Lisa and her fellow employees craved should be available to everyone. The two left their lives of working for others and launched their own independent business.

Kimberly is Chief Executive Officer and, as Bonitas International turns a creative designer’s eye on everyday accessories, she has been seen everywhere from the Today Show’s couch to meeting with Vogue fashion editor André Leon Talley at New York Fashion Week. Lisa is Chief Design Officer and a creative force. Her original solution still holds true and she has expanded her vision to a host of other workplace needs. It wasn’t long before people were saying, “These are great! But what about a way to hold my glasses, too?” We listened, and created Eyeglassholders.com just for you.

We are a certified woman owned business (WBEC). Founded in 2003, within a few short years, Bonitas International was an honored recipient of the Make Mine a $Million™ Business Award, sponsored by Count Me In for Women's Economic Independence and OPEN from American Express. Today we proudly continue to grow our business as we expand into new design areas, and Eyeglassholders.com is one of our favorites. We hope you enjoy our designs as much as we love bringing them to you!
