(SPOT.ph) From a space that can fit less than ten people, Sunnies Studios' first branch in Glorietta has now become their biggest store—twelve times more than its original size when it opened in 2013. The cult-fave sunglasses brand has over 100 stores across the Philippines, the latest one being the revamped branch, touted as the Sunnies Fun House.

Here's a glimpse of the biggest Sunnies Studios branch in Glorietta:
Sunnies Studios is known for its wide range of chic and functional all-things eyewear—from reading glasses, polarized sunglasses, Anti-Rad Eyewear for blue light protection—plus beauty (Sunnies Face) and beverages (Sunnies Coffee), all of which are house at the new branch.
Speaking of the new space, it's a lot brighter. You won't miss it as you're walking past Glorietta with your shopping bags in tow. Cream interiors with wooden accents bring a lightness to the space, while the sofas add a dash of color and offer a relaxation to a Sunnies Cafe patron seeking a place to sit. There are custom mirrors designed by Filipino-Australian artist Jessica Dorizac to check yourselves out as you try on Sunnies' offerings.
It wouldn't be Sunnies Studios unless there were dedicated rooms to get your eyes checked. You can get your prescription glasses (P1,995) in as fast as 19 minutes for single vision lenses. There's a customization area where you can get your eyewear cases engraved for free.
"Our story lies within the lines and curves of the Glorietta store. It has a lot of firsts and grew as the brand grew, slowly expanding through the years as spaces surrounding it opened one by one. It was the perfect homecoming, ten years in the making," says Eric Dee Jr., one of Sunnies' co-founder along Bea Soriano-Dee, Georgina Wilson, and Martine Ho.
The revamped Sunnies Studios is located at the second level, Glorietta, Makati City.
