What are your favorite local shops to buy sunglasses and eyeglasses from?

Recommendations

I'm looking for local shops with cool, unique eyewear. I've been to enough Sunglass Huts, Lenscrafters, Warby Parkers, and the typical mall stores. I think their collections are a bit boring. I'm looking for both sunglasses and eyeglasses that are a little unique (stores like Retro Super Future in Silver Lake or Dan Deutsch Optical in West Hollywood). Location doesn't matter as long as it's within an hour of Hollywood. Budget is $1k for two pairs since my insurance covers it. Any suggestions?

Paris optique in studio city has highly curated and often uncommon frames.

Eyeholics in koreatown! They have a ton of super hip styles from Korea you can’t get at many other places like gentle monster etc

There’s a parking lot w like 20 spots in front but sometimes it costs $2 valet after a certain time I think during the day it’s free

It’s definitely higher tier. I’d say average cost $300-600
