Selima Optique In W okularach, Poland's Eyewear Blog



Selima Optique's Soho outpost was featured on the Polish Eyewear Blog W okularach. In addition to the beautiful images of our Soho store, we appreciate the fantastic musings they shared about the selection and the decor of the shop. Just like Selima herself, they LOVE vintage eyeware and furnishings.

Especially favored were the portraits with eye glasses attached, a very clever touch by Selima and her posse.

If you haven't visited our Soho store yet, stop by to browse the new and vintage collections, or just take in the well curated antique decor at 59 Wooster St. at Broome St.

Travel Diaries: Selima Heads Far East..Bear Pond, Tokyo, Japan

On a recent trip to Japan, Selima and her friend Kiyuki stopped by Bear Pond: a charming and sunny Espresso bar in the Kitazawa district of Tokyo. Bear Pond is owned and operated by Chisa, a dear friend of Selima's, and an important member of the Selima Optique team. The three spent their day sipping espresso and sharing stories, a great way to relax the day away!
The space is cute and casual, clean and white with rustic detailing and serves up an amazing assortment of specialty espresso beverages and should not be missed on your next trip to Tokyo. 

Kiyuki, Selima, Chisa and her pup Kuharu.

Chisa, New York misses you, but it looks like you are doing amazing in Japan;)
