street where you end up browsing longer than planned, and picking up more than you came for.

Common Questions

Is the Haarlemmerstraat store easy to reach from Centraal Station?

Very easy. It’s about a 10-minute walk west along Haarlemmerstraat — just follow the street straight from the station. You’ll pass plenty of good coffee spots on the way. Bus 18 also stops right on the street if you’d rather not walk.

What are your frames made of?

Most of our frames are made from high-grade acetate — a premium plastic that’s lightweight, durable, and actually molds slightly to your head over time. We also carry metal frames. Both hold up well to daily wear, which matters when you’re paying €12 and want them to last the whole summer.

Do the sunglasses come with a case?

Not automatically, but you can grab a case in-store for €1. If you’re throwing them in a bag or beach tote, it’s worth it. Otherwise your sunglasses ship (or leave the store) in a protective plastic wallet that keeps them scratch-free.
