Los Angeles, California
1st October 2011 Julia Gogosha’s bubbly enthusiasm is like fizzy champagne as she talks about her love of eyewear. Two years ago, she opened her first optical boutique in Los Angeles, and in July this year, a second shop on West 3rd Street (above) was launched with a grand opening party. Julia explains her retail philosophy: “My aim is to be THE Los Angeles destination for independently designed and handmade eyewear. I see myself as an ambassador for independent designers and do not carry any licensed merchandise in our stores. We focus on fit and point of view to match the person with the right frame – every frame has a unique owner. We are a high-end, service and design driven boutique.”
In just over three years, Gogosha Optique has evolved into one of the premiere boutiques in America for modern, independently designed, and individualized frames. Style aware clients can find the newest creations from Claire Goldsmith, Thierry Lasry, Anne et Valentin, Théo, Salt, Barton Perreira, Mykita and more. Visitors to Gogosha Optique arrive from all over America, and throughout Europe, Asia, Australia, and South America.
Julia also presents in-store events – customers can meet their favourite designers. Recently she hosted Designer Showcases with Thierry Lasry from France, and California based Salt. Julia Gogosha and Gogosha Boutiques merit their reputation as bona fide eyewear gurus. Gogosha Optique 8238 West 3rd Street Los Angeles, CA 90048 www.gogosha.com JG
