36 Opticians

There’s an eclectic range of over 4,000 frames at this appealing Knightsbridge store run by opticians Ragini Patel and Sveta Khambhaita. The enormous range stretches from the simple (with super-low starting prices to match) to the exclusive limited-edition handmade beauties by the likes of US designer Barton Perreira (as seen in one of the coolest ad campaigns featuring Giovanni Ribisi) along with a host of other fabulously famous-name frames for the four-eyed. A growing range of cool accessories includes stylish lorgnettes (the opera-style glasses with a handle on one side) and spectacle loops made of stone.
