F EA T URED L OCA L BUS I NE S S : COU T URE E Y EWEAR GA L L ER Y
One thing you should know about me is that I’m a loyal customer. Once I find a company or product I like, I tend to stick with it long term — and I’m talking really long term, like 20 years or more for some of my favorites. I also wear glasses, so it only follows that I have an eyewear company I just can’t quit: Couture Eyewear Gallery. When I first started law school, my eyesight used to be 20/20, but before long, I noticed that I was running over curbs when I drove my car at night, so I went to get my eyes checked. Lo and behold, I needed glasses! Because my student income at the time was rather limited, I bought my first pair at Walmart, but once I started practicing law, I could afford to treat myself to high-end eyewear. I started hunting for the perfect spot and finally found Couture Eyewear Gallery. It immediately became “my place,” and I haven’t bought glasses from anyone else since 2001.
Now, I’ve got to say right off the bat that Couture Eyewear Gallery is very fancy. It’s a high-end boutique, so their glasses are expensive, but they’re also unique and one-of-a-kind. Odds are you’ll never run into another person wearing the same frames. I love that, and I also appreciate that the owners, a married couple named Casey and Rebecca Phillips, are really hands-on with their customers. If anything goes wrong with your glasses or you need an adjustment, you can just pop into the shop, and they’ll take care of it right away. I’ve gotten to know Casey and Rebecca well over the years, and I’m really impressed by their passion for glasses. When there isn’t a pandemic going on, they travel the country visiting high-end eyewear shows to get their hands on the newest, funkiest frames for Couture. On top of that, they’re two of the nicest people around. During my last visit, not only did they help me pick out new eyeglasses, but they also designed a custom
pair of reading glasses for me. If you’re in the market for show-stopping frames, I can’t recommend Couture Eyewear Gallery enough! To learn more about them, visit CoutureEyewearGallery.com.
