The team at our optical boutique is ready to shine the spotlight on one of our most exclusive and beautiful eyewear collections: Caroline Abram. If you have not seen this striking collection, you are truly missing out. Inspired by the fashion of the 1960’s these daring frames in butterfly, oversized, and cat’s eye shapes are dressed out in a multitude of colours and are fabricated from the finest materials. If you’re looking for a style straight from Paris, then the Caroline Abram collection is for you.

Caroline Abram began designing jewels and accessories for the eyewear market in 1998. While working in designer boutiques she trained as an Optician, a health care practitioner that fits and dispenses eyeglasses. She adorned magnifying glasses and chains with stylish details to bring functional eyewear devices into the fashion world, but reviving the lesser-known lorgnette is what brought Caroline Abram international success. The lorgnette is a pair of glasses or opera glasses held in front of a person's eyes by a long handle on one side.

Caroline Abram is an award-winning and leading woman in business. She trained an entire team of women at a manufacturing facility in Dakar, that has for the last 15 years been fabricating all the lines under the Caroline Abram name. Frames and accessories are fabricated using diverse materials such as resin, wood, silver, and semi-precious stones, as well as other high-quality metals and acetates. In 2008 Caroline Abram launched her own line of eyeglasses frames that resonate the energy of old-fashioned Miami, the 1960s, and vintage fashion.  

When you receive your Caroline Abram eyeglasses, you’ll be wearing a unique, vibrantly coloured, and ultra-chic design. Ready to come in and select your perfect Caroline Abram frame?
