OUR STORY
In 1985 we set up shop in Hastings with one brand of sunglasses, Jones. Those were the days of stifling importing regulations so we brought them to NZ in pieces and put them together ourselves.
From there we set up a second, temporary, shop in Napier in 1988, which stayed and stayed, in fact we’re still there.
Our range grew. Every couple of years we visit trade shows in Milan and Sydney to keep up with new trends and the latest products.
Now, we have two stores in central Napier and within the Hastings CBD.
Our stores are staffed by a stable, knowledgeable and friendly team who share our passion.
We get involved in our community by supporting fundraising and sponsoring events.
Our sunglass brands include Dior, Gucci, Chloe, Tom Ford, Moscot, Retro Superfuture, Garrett Leight, Maui Jim, Age Eyewear, Ray Ban, Vuarnet, Bill Bass, the infamous Oakley and the much loved Karen Walker.
