As a woman owned and women run business, we work to provide the best customer service and highest expertise in the optical field. WE ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT OUR BRANDS AND QUALITY OF WORK. Our customers trust our knowledge and advice when it comes to style and best lens technology.

WE ARE FORTUNATE TO BE LOCATED IN TWO CITIES THAT BELIEVE IN MINDFUL GROWTH WHERE PEOPLE VALUE THE ARTS, DESIGN AND NATURAL BEAUTY.

Each of our stores are designed to feel cohesive with the aesthetic of their neighborhood. Our Downtown Asheville location is the first L’optique and has been there for over 20 years. Located in the heart of Asheville on one of the most charming streets in downtown, this location has grown with the city and become a staple. With continued growth means evolving, and we are currently renovating this shop. Our Biltmore Village location is in a historic neighborhood close to the famous Biltmore House and the interior of our store reflects that richness. The Greenville location is right off their vibrant Main Street and is an open airy space filled with light and eye-catching displays.

Our stores feel chic, French boutique inspired, clean, bright and inviting. WE WANT OUR
DISPLAYS TO FEEL ACCESSIBLE AND ENTICING TO THE CUSTOMER to encourage exploring and trying of new styles.
