Luxe Optique
183 Main Street

Here's a little secret: This line of frames pictured here is called La Font. This leopard print - camouflaged in the brick - is understated, yet is one of the most striking styles coming from Luxe Optique. La Font continues to make this pattern in different shapes - which look great tinted as a sunglass. Not only that, but these frames are solid. As in, you can even exercise in them.

 

BOUTIQUES ON THE EAST END


Lambs Hill Bridal Boutique
