Cape Town gets couture eyewear

A treasure trove of exclusive eyewear and accessories has been added to the strip of trendy shopping spots in Cape Town’s De Waterkant district.

The Oculus introduces a new concept in eyewear shopping, where bespoke service meets couture fashion and one-on-one care and attention. The in-house optometrist offers advanced testing technology available for the first time in South Africa, while their range of eyewear is truly unmatched.

Home to exclusive brands such as Tom Davies, Tom Ford, Cartier, DSquared, MYKITA, Tavat, CoLab and Persol, many of the lines they stock are different from any other eyewear retailer in South Africa. VISI loves the fact that they offer eyeglass frames and sunglasses straight from the runways and European trade shows.

Optometrist and owner Pieter Steyn has seen a life-long passion come to fruition at The Oculus, and has a vision for offering an intelligent, one-on-one experience that’s unique in this country. Almost always on site and available, Pieter has furthermore introduced a new bespoke service, where frames can be custom-made for clients, offering the world-renowned Tom Davies Eyewear.

In addition to bespoke eyewear, The Oculus retails designer bags and accessories from Gianfranco Ferre, Mandarina Duck and a few other labels in order to offer a complete fashion-accessory shopping experience. They also sport the biggest collection of Tom Ford glasses in South Africa, adding another reason to visit their boutique.
