I went in today hoping to look at and maybe purchase a pair or two of new French made eyeglass frames. The owner and his wife were super friendly and showed me a few styles of frames. They told me that the pairs I was looking at were handmade in their basement and one of a kind designs that the wife, Claudine designed and the husband, Jack made. He then offered me a special discount if I purchased more than one pair. At the end, I paid $700 Euro for 2 pair (see attached pics). Before leaving, they had asked me to write a review of my great experience and had me scan a QR code to write a review, which I did. After writing the review, I read some of the other reviews and noticed one person said he had been lied to by this shop when they told him they had hand made his frame as well. That prompted me to look closer at my purchases, all to find out neither of mine were hand made and were in fact a brand from Italy and another from somewhere else in France. Additionally, the pair I paid over 300 Euro for, were available by the real manufacturer, Unseen Eyewear, for 159,00 euro. This was such as shame as had they just been honest, I probably would have still purchased them, or at least one of them. Instead, they are dishonest and left me with the need to share my experience with other potential customers. Buyer beware!!

Jacques may have the biggest and best eyeglass frame collection in the world. Even Elton John buys…read morefrom him. I took my friend Bronni with me to his shop and she was blown away. We each purchased two pairs of amazing eyeglasses that you will not find anywhere else. All the frames are handmade in Italy and Jacques keeps a detailed record of your purchases. There are well over a hundred drawers filled with frames, and Jacques knows what's inside of each of them and can help you pick the frame that is right for you. He can also fill your prescription in 24-36 hours so bring it along. Yes, the frames are pricey but well worth it and Jacques is a sweetheart! So personable! Highly recommend a stop at this little gem in the heart of the St. Germain while on your trip to Paris!

Not only did the optician call my health insurance firm to get a quote (something they had refused to give me and said I needed to send them a paperwork by mail in order to get one), she dealt with all the papers and made sure I had as little to do as possible. My glasses were ready the next day, as well as my lenses and they offered to cash my cheque after I have been reimbursed by health insurance so I'm not out of pocket. What's more, the selection of frames and sunglasses is so chic and classic making the normally painful finding the perfect frames an easy task. And last but not least, it's called Optique et Chocolat for a reason: you leave with piles of chocolate in your hand.

Michael Fratty and his team at Espace Optique came through for me like champions! The lenses he ground for me are, without doubt, the best plastic lenses I have ever experienced. I am very picky about eyeglasses, and have long preferred glass because the plastic lenses I get in North America have always been optically lousy. But these are terrific; easily as good as the glass lenses I've had. The glasses were made and assembled with excellent craftsmanship and I am extremely pleased--to the degree I will seriously consider sending for future glasses from Espace Optique even if I'm not in Europe at the time I need them.

On the spur of the moment, inspired by all the hip eyeglasses I was seeing on a trip to Paris, I…read moredecided that it was time to shop for new specs. At random, I walked into Craft, and I feel like this was an incredibly lucky break. Craft has a very interesting set of eyeglass frames, but what set Craft apart was the woman who helped me. She quickly tried a couple pairs on me and asked what I thought (too round, too big, whatever...). She tilted her head to the side and peered at my head for a moment, then disappeared into the back for about five minutes. When she emerged, she had four pairs of frames, and I liked every single one! I walked out with one of these frames (love it), but I would have been happy with any one of them, really. She really has a gift. This was a wildly different experience from most eyeglass shopping expeditions with a clerk randomly throwing crap on my face, 'do you like this? How about this one? Ooooh, they all look so good, but whatever you are comfortable with' whatever that means. I'm thinking that eyeglass refreshing at Craft Paris could be a regular routine for moi.

My first experience with AV was Year 2016...and I've never gotten so many compliments on a pair of…read moreeye glasses in my life! I absolutely adore them. The TSO technician told me about 15-20 years ago (can't remember how long ago really) that AV's son had come into this TSO store all disheveled from traveling about door to door all day pursuing businesses. The original doctor of this TSO location (since retired) loved the frames and said yes! Some background info told to me by my eye tech... The son told the doctor how the Valentin frames came about being made by his father; who I shall refer to as the creative genius of artsy frames!!! It was because his wife wasn't satisfied and didn't like any of the eyeglass frames being sold in Paris at the time...so Mr. Valentin (genius mastermind and engineer I think) got to work. But, because his frames were so unique and out of the box...made out of resin for instance...the son had a hard time getting eye doctors to agree to display and sell them. And so because this TSO doctor on a small Texas island near the Gulf of Mexico ocean...in Galveston said YES...I have a fabulous pair of specticals that I adore! Shop TSO! This location has the best selection of frames I've ever seen.

My optician called the company and they kept giving him a date, three different times and they were never sent. I personally emailed the company twice and never got a response. Very bad customer service for any company, especially one selling higher end frames.
