1. Klasik

This vintage eyewear stand is in the address book of fashion editors and style savvy Londoners. It’s been an exclusive fixture since 2001, run by a small East End family business who really know their stuff. A revolving and eye-opening collection of opticals and sunglasses means you’ll come away with something special and unique. The authentic frames range from the 1930s–1990s and are offered with a prescription lens service. (Pictured is a very rare and collectable pair of sunglasses designed by Emilio Pucci, using his signature print, c1960’s)
