City centre browsing
Perfect for a day on foot: pop in between Santa Maria Maggiore and a coffee in Monti. Rome mixes long queues with small streets, so you can find your main-character shades without losing your afternoon.
What we sell
At our Rome store you’ll find over 250 sunglasses styles: oversized city shapes, retro round frames, cat-eye classics, coloured lenses and festival-ready designs. Every pair is just €12. Perfect for topping off a rooftop aperitivo or finding your holiday look before heading back out into the sun.
Sunglasses shopping in Rome
Rome is a city you see on foot, and Monti is the neighbourhood that rewards it most: cobbled lanes, vintage boutiques, wine bars and workshops, all a few minutes from the Colosseum and Santa Maria Maggiore. Piazza della Suburra sits at the bottom of it, where Via Cavour opens up and the metro drops you off. Our sunglasses store is right there: easy to find, easy to spend a few minutes in, and easy to walk out of looking like you belong here.
Getting Here
Metro: Cavour (line B) is a one-minute walk and Termini is two stops away. Coming from Fiumicino, the Leonardo Express to Termini plus one metro stop puts you at the door. Monti is best walked, so leave the car behind.
