Sunglasses and eyeglasses brands at Second Face Myeongji

Second Face Myeongji stocks glasses from many Korean and international brands. The glasses, sunglasses and lenses they carry include Cartier, Miu Miu, Ray-Ban, Gucci, Chrome Hearts, myopia-control lenses for children, Essilor Stellest, Zeiss Xperience (Zeiss Expert), Yuki Iwasaki and Ray-Ban Meta, and more. I only listed a few, there are far more kinds than this~

There are really so many kinds of glasses and sunglasses all around the shop that time flew just looking, haha

Ray-Ban

Luxury sunglasses are displayed at the back of the shop. It was full of pretty sunglasses from Balenciaga, Miu Miu and others.

The eye-test area was neatly kept too.

They even have snacks and Americano coffee. Nice touch, right? haha

Goggles

Lenses

There are lots of luxury sunglasses too, like Gucci.

Is a luxury sunglasses shop intimidating to browse?

At Second Face Myeongji you can try on sunglasses freely, and staff don't follow you around one-on-one, so there was no pressure. That doesn't mean they ignore you: when I asked something, they answered kindly and in detail.

I tried on lots of different sunglasses and picked the ones I liked. What's really good about Second Face Myeongji is that it sells domestic and international sunglasses along with luxury ones, so I worried the staff might approach customers in an overbearing way, but the atmosphere was nothing like that, which I loved. I could try things on freely, and nobody followed me around one-on-one, so I felt relaxed the whole time. I'm not saying they're indifferent to customers! When I asked something, they explained kindly and in detail, which was really nice.

Trying on travel sunglasses with my parents

Second Face Myeongji has so many kinds of sunglasses that choosing was fun. My parents tried on all sorts of pairs and kept asking the staff questions, and the answers were detailed and knowledgeable, so they were easy to understand.

While I was busy trying on and browsing sunglasses, someone on the other side was adjusting my mom's glasses nose pads for free, lol. Thank you so much for looking after us.

How much were Public Beacon sunglasses at 30% off?

The sunglasses I chose at Second Face Myeongji were Public Beacon, and they happened to be 30% off, so I got a pair that was originally in the low ₩200,000s for the mid ₩100,000s!

How to store and wear sunglasses: tips from the staff

After I bought them, the Second Face Myeongji staff carefully adjusted the sunglasses to fit my face and explained in detail how to store and wear them!

• Keeping sunglasses in the car shortens their lifespan (because of heat, sunlight and so on).
• If you always put sunglasses on with one hand, the temples stretch out easily. Always hold the temples with both hands when putting them on.
• Wiping with a cloth while there's sand or dirt on the lenses risks scratches, so it's better to rinse the glasses upright under running water and then wipe them with the cloth.

Ta-da~ They packed them up neatly. They gave me several cleaning cloths, which made me happy, hehe. My parents are going abroad soon, so the sunglasses from Second Face should do their job well, haha

Second Face Myeongji: final verdict

If you're looking for glasses, sunglasses or lenses, I recommend Second Face Myeongji, a shop for premium house brands in Myeongji-dong, Gangseo, Busan! There's a wide choice of domestic and international products, which is great!

• The staff are kind.
• There's a wide range of glasses, sunglasses and lenses.
• There's a variety of luxury brands.
