There’s a rumour that the store has a secret drawer of “lost” glasses from decades ago. Vintage frames from the 1970s. Huge ones. Harry Potter-style round ones. The manager denies it. But a staff member winked when I asked. Conspiracy? Maybe.
Also, the mirrors in the fitting area are slightly angled. They make you look 10% cooler. It’s science. Or magic. We’ll never know.
So, next time you’re in Connswater, pop in. Try on some ridiculous frames. Sit in the spaceship booth. Listen for ice cubes. You’ll leave seeing and hearing better. And you’ll have a weird story to tell at dinner.
