4 Optica Toscana – another of the first stores to appear on Eyestylist.com in 2011

We first wrote about Optica Toscana when the designer of the Eyestylist website had just returned from a weekend in Madrid, and took some pictures for us. It has always been one of the stores in Europe that is consistently mentioned and recommended for its style and atmosphere and incredible selection of specs. The old-fashioned flagship shop (above – C/ de Hortaleza, 70 central Madrid) is a former seed store full of tiny old wooden drawers, bursting with exciting-looking frames. Blasts of colour are dotted around the wood displays.

Since 2011 we have visited Optica Toscana’s stunning Barcelona store and written about the shop in Mallorca which opened in 2015. Read the feature about the Madrid store at https://www.eyestylist.com/2011/11/optica-toscana-madrid/

5 reVOLVER Ibiza featured in July 2015

We always remember writing this feature in July 2015  as we got a really sensational response from Jean-Paul when we suggested it. Created in 2008 by husband and wife team Jean-Paul and Catherine Sanchez, reVOLVER has become a reference point for cutting-edge fashion and style on the Mediterranean island of Ibiza with a carefully curated brand mix and a fantastic choice of fine sunglasses… today the store is located at Carrer del Bisbe Azara 1, 07800 Ibiza.
