Opening the doors to Framed Eyewear on South White Street has been a labor of love, and we could never have brought this space to life alone. From framing walls and wiring fixtures to hanging signs and cheering us on through late-night prep, this boutique was truly built by the hands and hearts of our community.
We want to extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who lent their craft, time, and encouragement to help us reach opening day.

Our Friends & Family
Jackie, Melanie, Jeff, Naomi, Heather, and Ben for showing up in every way possible.
Special thanks to our incredible husbands and children for your patience, endless encouragement, heavy lifting, and love. You lived through every late night, messy work weekend, and early morning alongside us. Thank you for believing in us and all the help along the way.
We built Framed Eyewear to be an inviting, bespoke home for eyewear in Wake Forest, but it is already rich in history because of the people who helped lay its foundation.
Thank you for being part of our story. We cannot wait to welcome you in.
