Iconic Lab

I can’t remember how long has it been since I started searching high and low for that pair of sunglasses that’d just fit my face like a dream (it is excruciatingly difficult to have this happen) and. yeah, look like a dream too. I mean, it’s got to be like magic that would make me look and feel effortlessly good once I put it on, especially on a super blah day. You know what I mean, right.
So, that day, I walked into this unassuming optical shop out of curiousity. At first glance, it didn’t look like they had a whole lot of variety for sunglasses. They had a good selection of designs for their frames though, ranging from sophisticated to vintage-​retro designs (and there weren’t many optical advisers sitting or standing there just waiting to jump at you). I was told by one of the two optical advisers there that they are all handmade in Japan, which explains the steep prices. A pair of frames would easily cost you RM1,000+ or more.
But, what makes this optical shop stand out from the rest is the fact that all their designs are limited to ONE (1) piece only. Not only that, these handmade frames and glasses are all designed in other countries like US and Germany and then sent to Japan to be handmade with meticulous craftsmanship using solid materials such as titanium, gold and mirror lenses.
They’re currently having a 20% discount promotion store-​wide. Plus, there is a selection of frames that come with free lenses and if you purchase 2 pairs of frames/​sunglasses in a single transaction, you get a 25% discount on the 2^nd pair.
Although they have limited designs for sunglasses, I was so lucky and happy to have found my perfect pair there! I’m not going to lie. I was as happy as a 5-​year-​old girl who finally got her hands on Elsa’s dress and wouldn’t stop twirling around in it. Oh, and my sunglasses came with a 1-​year warranty as well. So, if anyone’s looking for a new pair of frames or sunglasses and willing to splash out more for limited edition designs + Japanese craftmanship, have a look around Iconic Lab. Hopefully you’ll get lucky like I did!
