A thing or two you should know…

Art & Eyes is more than New Orleans’ most cutting-edge chic optical shop; this is a store for people who want to wear art— a hand-painted pink and bronze bolero, a pair of earrings made out of motorcycle tires, a feathered Diane Harty fascinator, and a pair of glasses that distinguish you and your personal style. If you are looking for that outsized logo or those tiny, rimless glasses that attempt to disappear on your face, as if sort of apologizing for themselves, you might not be in the right shop. Our frames do not apologize. Our collection is for customers who understand luxury to be quality craftmanship rather than branding, who value innovative design rather than trendiness.

Bold shapes, bright acetates and elegant angles characterize the frames at Art & Eyes, each one specifically chosen from the collections of the finest designers, classic brands and hot new upstarts alike. Your glasses are your most important accessory, framing your world and offering you the chance to be noticed, admired, envied, and probably, eventually copied by an admirer of your taste—to the best of their abilities to replicate your look, of course. At Art & Eyes, we carry lines unavailable in most places, as well as an array of vintage frames, and our selection is always evolving.

Whether you choose $64 Eyebobs or $1200 real horn frames, Art and Eyes is the place to find the perfect pair of frames, and we love nothing more than helping our customers bring their look into focus.
