Personal Style Optical

226 East 3rd Street

Elando Questelles's chic new boutique salon on East 3rd Street in Alphabet City offers an impressive array of designer eyeware and accessories of both American and international origin. As both owner/optician Questelles, who hails originally from St. Vincent in the Caribbean, opened the cute wedge of lime green shop eight months ago with a passion about personal style (which is what the PS stands for):

"I wanted to create a friendly and inviting atmosphere and help to get rid of the stigma of wearing glasses. It's not just about seeing. Glasses reflect who you are, how you feel, and a sense of fun. That's why I think I'm a perfect fit for the East Village."

The nucleus of the collection here represents American, Japanese, French, Italian, and German brands such as Shuron, Gen, Modo, Alain Mikli, Persol, and Brendel.

In addition to the very classy and creative eyeware which Questelles handpicks himself, there are also quite a number of pretty cases for glasses which definitely appeal to the customer who not only likes to wear but also carry his or her pair of specs in style.

Personal Style Optical is off to a bright start and definitely one of the new optical gems in the East Village. In the future Questelles plans to work directly with the Gen company from Fukui Japan to design his own Personal Style eyewear collection. We look forward to seeing that vision happen.

Hours: Mon-Sat 12-7, Sun 12-6
