Purse-friendly eyewear
IOLLA
Why locals love it
IOLLA is the Gaelic word for sight and they are not your average optical store. Their mission is to offer quality eyewear at reasonable prices. The frames are acetate or metal and their design is modern and fun. We love the distinctive names and playful colours - our favourite is Arrol in Blue Havana.
Why you should visit it
Ever wondered where those stylish Scottish bloggers are getting their specs? They are from a tiny Glasgow shop and they will not cost you an arm and a leg. In fact for 65 GBP a pair you might be tempted to buy two (or three). Bring your prescription as they do not carry out eye tests.
Special tip
While it is well worth visiting the IOLLA showroom in the heart of hipstery Finnieston, you can also order your specs online.
