Try-on days

More frames on the table, and nobody hurrying you

A few times a year we clear the front of the shop and set out more frames than usual. Come in, try as many as you like and talk with Carmela, then book a fitting when one feels right.

We take the time to understand what you need before we suggest anything.

Every visit ends with a clear plan, written down, so nothing is left to memory.

How the day works

Come as you are

  • Look first

    Walk the shelves with a cup of coffee. Nobody follows you around.

  • Try on

    Carmela is there for questions, and she will pull a few shapes if you want a second opinion.

  • Take photos

    Take a picture in the mirror, send it to a friend, and sleep on it.

  • Book when ready

    If one feels right, book a fitting. We check your prescription and write down the lens choices.

Questions about try-on days

How do I find out when the next one is?

Call the shop or send us a message, and we will tell you the next date.

Do I need a prescription to come?

No. You can try frames without one. To order glasses you need a current prescription from us or from another office.

Can I bring children?

Yes. Children are welcome, and Carmela can show you which frames suit smaller faces.
