I snapped a picture of my daughter wearing some sparkly Dior sunglasses. Later I showed her the picture when we were in the car. She says, «daddy I felt so famous wearing those sunglasses!» That pretty much sums up what you’re getting at Romanelli Optix. A good friend of mine purchased Tom Ford glasses about a year ago. Later I noticed my chiropractor wearing a similar style. I knew I was destined to have some too! Not into paying over $ 500 for glasses I shopped around online. I was never comfortable making the purchase for one reason or another. Finally I decided I should just find a local storefront. My first interaction was over the phone. I just wondered if I needed an appointment. I’ve never been so excited to not have an appointment! «Come on in!» My daughter and I arrived after school. I was nervous about bringing a six year old into the boutique with me.(YES — THISIS A BOUTIQUE.) Would she knock over a display? Would she break frames or distract other customers? My daughter and I where greeted warmly and I was put at ease. I knew exactly which frames I wanted so I donned my webpage. Next I was shown the corresponding frames and it was time for measurements. I was promised my new glasses about ten days after my visit. Romanelli Optix does their own work when it comes to placing your actual lenses into their frames. The process was explained and the date set. Fast forward and I get an invite for an event in St Louis. I’d like to wear my new glasses to the event so I make a call. The frames were promised on Friday — I call on Wednesday. «We’ll do our best and give you a call». Fast forward to Thursday and I’ve got a voicemail. My fancy new frames are ready to party. My daughter and I picked up my frames after school. I was greeted by name like an old friend. They fit great and gave me goose bumps to see them on for the first time. I was reminded of their cleaning, repair and warranty service. And we were off I don’t know when I’ll be in the market for designer glasses this nice again. What I do know is when it comes to eyewear — you wear them everyday all day, you should REALLY love them! When it’s that time again I can’t wait to give Romanelli Optix my business.
