Ronnie and Joe is back in business
MANILA, Philippines - This week, luxury eyewear boutique Ronnie and Joe finally opens its doors after quite a long hiatus. Having opened in January 2014 and subsequently closing to undergo a massive revamp, the end result is nothing short of impressive. Long under wraps but much anticipated, the Rockwell branch opens just in time for the Christmas season (and this is definitely a stop on our wish list) with Ronnie and Joe’s sleek new look — complete with modern lighting, marble accents and a well-styled staff to boot. Featuring the distinct aesthetic reflective of the brand’s owner and creative director Mike Concepcion’s unique vision, the shops new look draws a lot of inspiration from the myriad of international brands available in the shop.
As a stockist for brands like fashion and celebrity favorites Karen Walker, Ksubi and Grey Ant, worldwide-respected names like Moscot NYC, Barton Perreira and Garrett Leight, iconic Japanese brand Matsuda, the underground cool Native Sons, and recently revived luxury French eyewear house Max Pittion (just to name a few) — the Ronnie and Joe roster is ever expanding, thanks to their keen eye for trends, quality and design. An attention to quality and detail is paramount for Ronnie and Joe, who scour the world for only the best made frames to stock exclusively in their shop. As one of the foremost eyewear shops in the country, the collection at Ronnie and Joe is unparalleled, boasting a unique selection of some of the best and most exclusive artisanal eyewear brands in the world, only available at Ronnie and Joe.
