About Us
Welcome to Framed Eyewear, where over two decades of licensed optical expertise and fashion design meet an uncompromising passion for artistic self-expression. Founded by Angela and Anne, our boutique in downtown Wake Forest is built on the belief that luxury isn’t defined by a price tag—it is found in exceptional craftsmanship, rare design, and the perfect fit. Together, we reject the ordinary to hand-curate a collection of creative, distinct, and architectural frames from around the world. We don’t just sell glasses; we help you discover functional art that celebrates your unique individuality.
