New styles from the DILEM range have come into the shop today. As usual, they are nicely made, featuring nice and fresh colours both on the front and the sculptured sides. Of course the bonus with any DILEM frame are the exchangable temples. Each DILEM frame comes standard with 2 sets of sides that are easily changed by the user. If 2 pairs of sides aren’t enough for you, you can ad to your collection at any time. That way you can match them with the rest of your wardrobe and/or convert them from “casual” to “elegant” or vice versa. So many possibilities! ... read more

Just a quick note to say that our online shop is now open. We’ve added this small feature to our website in order to keep you informed of some of our latest frames, sunglasses and and accessories. The shop is designed to act as a shop window for only a small part of our collections. There will be only 60 different products showcast at any one time. This is a small percentage of the actual numbers we carry in stock, but enough to allow for new products to be introduced and updated regularly. ... read more

The short answer is: we all wear spectacles by a small Danish company called Lindberg. You want to know why? Is it because they have a fancy label on the side that is “in”, “trendy” or whatever? Is it because they are so expensive that only the rich and famous can afford them? The answer to all those questions is no. It’s because with only 1.9 grams in weight, the frames would have to be the lightest and most comfortable frames one could wear. ... read more

“Great glasses are what we do” – that’s our tag line and that really is what we are all about. Being a registered Dispensing Optician I am passionate about beautiful eyewear. I truly believe in providing professional advice and personalised service. However, when Reiner and I first opened “Claudia K Opticians” on High Street here in Motueka back in April, we completely underestimated the need for additional optometric services in Motueka. For that reason, we now have a dedicated eye testing room fitted with modern eye testing equipment and have contracted two independent optometrists, who share our passion and will provide optometric services on a periodic basis. ... read more

Tonight we are celebrating the opening of “CLAUDIA K OPTICIANS”. What started as a dream last year in September, has now become a reality. As we are “new” to the area of Motueka, we have invited not only all people involved in making our dream a reality, but also some of our colleagues and of course the local business community. We are looking forward to meeting everyone tonight and will make sure that it will be a fun night for everyone. ... read more

Well, it was finally here – our first day in our new optical shop. It promised to be an interesting day, because we had absolutely no idea how it would develop and what we had to expect. The hard work of getting everything inside the shop exactly as we wanted it was over and now the fun could begin. Easier said than done, because we had not told anyone that today was the day. No advertisement in the paper, no listing in the yellow pages, no grand opening yet, no nothing. Would anyone realise that we are actually there? ... read more

The wait is almost over! We are getting ready to open the shop on Monday the 20th of April, 2009. Things are now certainly taking shape and are indeed coming together exactly as we had hoped. Here are some pictures intended to be a sneak preview. You will get a pretty good idea of the ambience in the shop. ... read more

At long last! The carpet is going down. Now all we need is for the furniture to come back from spray painting. Can’t wait. ... read more

Things are slowly progressing. After deciding way back in September last year that it was time for us to get back into business, we’ve been working really hard to make our dream a reality. The first steps seemed easy. We found premises in Motueka, right next to the new Vodafone store. The rooms are small and cozy, exactly the right size for what we want to do. ... read more
