MEGANE Optical Intro: Where Craftsmanship Meets Culture

Welcome to MEGANE Elevated Optical: Where Craftsmanship Meets Culture

Hello and welcome! We’re Josh and Ash, a dynamic husband-and-wife team, opticians, and proud founders of MEGANE Elevated Optical. Our journey, both personal and professional, has taken us across borders and cultures, uniting our passion for eyewear and exceptional craftsmanship. As an interracial couple with an international story, we’ve channeled our diverse backgrounds and shared dreams into creating something truly unique—a boutique that goes beyond the ordinary optical shop.

The Vision Behind MEGANE

At MEGANE Elevated Optical, we believe eyewear is more than just a tool for vision—it’s an expression of individuality, style, and artistry. That’s why our boutique is thoughtfully designed to introduce you to exceptionally crafted eyewear, curated from top fashion brands and independent designers from around the world.

We’re passionate about showcasing the very best in eyewear craftsmanship, with a special focus on handmade, precision-created frames from Japan and Italy. When you step into MEGANE, you’re not just shopping for glasses—you’re immersing yourself in an experience that merges the elegance of modern Japanese aesthetics with the timeless heritage of quality hand-craftsmanship.

"Mega-What?"

If you’re wondering about our name—MEGANE (pronounced "meh-gah-neh") is the Japanese word for glasses. We chose this name as a symbol of our dedication to curating eyewear that embodies the meticulous artistry of Japanese and global craftsmen. MEGANE reflects our commitment to sourcing and offering only the finest frames from renowned ateliers, each pair crafted with precision and passion.

Our Location

We’re excited to invite you to visit our flagship store, located in the charming Paseo 17 shopping center on 17th Street in Costa Mesa, just a stone’s throw from Newport Beach. You’ll find us in Suite #109, nestled between popular local spots like Milligram Coffee & Kitchen and Beauty With A Mission.

Our boutique offers more than just eyewear—it’s a space where you can relax, discover, and experience our carefully curated selection in a serene and modern environment. The store’s design is a reflection of our inspiration, featuring elements like earthy limewash walls and minimalist, Japanese-style white oak shelving, which creates a calming ambiance to welcome our guests.
