First off, Yelp is your friend. Kinda. It’s got this list of the “Top 10 Best Places to Buy Glasses in Houston, TX” (supposedly for March 2025, which is kinda weird ’cause, you know, time travel isn’t a thing… yet). Anyway, places like Factory Eyeglass, EYEBAR Houston, Eye Theory Midtown, Vision Optique, and Warby Parker Heights Mercantile are mentioned. Now, whether they *actually* carry a decent selection of Chanel frames is another story. You gotta call ’em up and ask. Don’t just assume! I’ve been burned that way before. Ugh.
Then there’s the whole “online” thing. Chanel’s website itself has sunglasses, but frames? Maybe? The description is kinda vague, if I’m being honest. You can browse around and see if anything tickles your fancy. I’d say it’s worth a look, but don’t get your hopes up *too* high. It’s Chanel, so you know it won’t be cheap.
Fashion Eyewear claims to be an “authorised retailer” with up to 70% off. Okay, that sounds tempting, but proceed with caution! Deals that sound too good to be true usually are. Definitely check their return policy and read reviews before you commit to anything. Plus, ya know, ordering glasses online can be tricky ’cause you can’t try ’em on! It’s like buying jeans without seeing yourself in a mirror – a recipe for disaster, trust me.
Now, I’ve seen stuff on Yelp about “TOP 10 BEST Chanel Frames in Houston, TX” suggesting that you’ll find frames that are “something you will treasure and continue to wear for decades to come.” LOL. Decades? Maybe if you’re super careful! I can barely keep sunglasses in good shape for a *season*. Kids, am I right? But yeah, look, it suggests that you can just browse a wide collection of designer glasses. But I still think you should call and check before driving down there.
Honestly? My *personal* advice? If you’re serious about Chanel, find a reputable optician in Houston – even if they’re not on some random “top 10” list. Talk to them, explain what you’re looking for, and see if they can special order something for you. It’ll probably cost you a pretty penny, but at least you’ll know you’re getting the real deal and that they fit properly. Also, you can get lens replacement from them too, which is a bonus!
And hey, if all else fails, maybe just rock some oversized sunglasses and call it a day. Nobody needs to know if they’re *actually* Chanel or just look like it. 😉
