IZIPIZI

IZIPIZI is a French eyewear brand that has been creating smiles since 2010, and its London shop sits inside the Market Building at the centre of Covent Garden. The label made its name with accessible, colourful glasses that treat eyewear as an everyday accessory rather than a purely functional item, and it holds B Corporation certification.

The range spans sunglasses, reading glasses, blue-light glasses, sleeping glasses and sports styles, with dedicated options for children. Best-sellers highlighted on the store page include the reading glasses, among them the cherry red #B style, and the products come with a two-year warranty and a broad choice of colours, shapes and strengths. Many styles are offered in polarised versions, and the brand sells through its own shops as well as opticians and concept stores.

Stock is arranged by category and colour so the reading glasses and sunglasses can be browsed at a glance, with staff on hand to help match a frame and strength and room to try different shapes. The shop suits anyone after affordable, well-designed eyewear, whether a reading pair, a summer pair or children's frames, in a single stop, and the store can be reached directly by phone through the official store page.

The official store page lists opening hours of 10:00 to 19:30 from Monday to Thursday, 10:00 to 20:00 on Friday and Saturday and 11:00 to 18:00 on Sunday.
