Korean Sunglass Shop – Visually Unique but Limited Selection

I recently visited a Korean sunglass shop that caught my attention, mainly because of its creative and artistic displays. While the shop itself wasn’t particularly exciting in terms of product variety — the selection of sunglasses was quite limited — the way the items were exhibited was truly unique and visually striking. It’s definitely a spot worth visiting if you enjoy design-focused spaces or want to take some stylish photos for social media.

The prices were fairly average and in line with most mid-range eyewear brands. However, when it comes to purchasing sunglasses, I personally prefer established brands like Hermès, Ray-Ban, or Prada for their quality, style, and broader selection.

Super grateful for her but the overall experience was really sour and time consuming because of the rude and...

I saw about 7 groups of people come after 1930. (I was waiting outside for the wife, timed her about 1 hour to finish).

A good selection of the glasses are out of stock but still on display.

Glasses are well made and in 200+ dollar range.

They could probably let more people in, doesn’t seem super...
