Sue Randhawa relies on her sharp eye for style when searching out the best independent artisan frames. Sourcing from Paris, Milan, München and more, Randhawa favours lines such as Anne et Valentin and Theo, that are distinct, handcrafted and whenever possible, logo-free. Every season she makes her selections with a diverse clientele in mind.

The attention to detail that guides curation carries through to the boutique experience. Finding the right pair of glasses is both an art and science. Providing thoughtful comprehensive service, our Opticians consider all the angles, including prescription, facial features, lifestyle, personality and visual needs.

Eyewear is much more than a visual aid for Sue: it's a vehicle for self-expression. Born in India and raised in Vancouver, she joined The Optical Boutique as a Licensed Optician in 1997 and took over the business 10 years later.

Deeply involved in the local fashion scene, she collaborates on look books, editorials and video shoots. In support of emerging designers, she's a front row fixture at Vancouver Fashion Week and a regular guest speaker at fashion schools. Naturally, she brings all this into her work to help clients find the right eyewear to complement their personal style.

For Sue, fashion has no barriers; it's for all ages, genders, races and religions. She approaches her style consultations with curiosity and without judgment. Randhawa doesn't limit herself in style or life – she's a runner, road biker and aspiring author – and so she's inspired to help others see and celebrate their own uniqueness.
