If I were a eyewear store I’d be One Point Seven Four. Actually that’s probably being a bit up myself because their glasses are actually way cooler and sexier than I could ever be. The lovely gentleman in the shop was clearly passionate about eyewear, walking me through their range of brands and frames. Most of the sunglasses were for the slightly adventurous dresser. The spectacles were more demure with lots of tortoiseshell used. Safe to say I saw about 30 pairs I wanted to call my own. They also stock Supers which are really hard to find in Australia.

As a wearer of spectacles, it is only natural that a brand spanking new eyewear shop should catch my eyes(as dodgy and short sighted as they may be). So when I stumbled across the very new One Point Seven Four store recently I was most intrigued to see what it was all about. Expecting your run of the mill eyewear store stocking run of the mill designers I happily ate my thoughts! This place is sunglasses mecca! Brands such Podium, Marni, Dita, Sass & Bide and Cheap Monday line the walls of this funky boutique. I didn’t notice any price tags, which is probably a good thing because I try to avoid heart attacks where possible. But seriously, One Point Seven Four stock incredible, unique and striking eyewear. Everything from Dame Edna like frames to chic black frames that could transport you to NYC, right in front of Tiffany’s eating a croissant. It definitely exceeded my ex{spectacle}tations.
