Another reason we can't wait for Muji ("No Brand Quality Goods") to come to New York: the Japanese minimalist retailer is now selling an accessible, affordable version of bespoke eyeframes.
In keeping with its themes of minimalist superstyle, consumer choice and a lack of waste, Muji's cleanly-designed eyeglasses come in two pieces: consumers choose from seventeen frame-lens styles, then mix and match one of seventeen pairs of ear supports, both with multiple color choices. Lenses can also be chosen by color and opacity level.

The best part? A set of glasses retails for about $88 U.S., and it only takes them 60 minutes to fill your prescription and fit the specs together. The worst part, for those of us in the U.S., will be waiting for the store to arrive.
Muji currently has branches in the U.K., Ireland, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Norway, Sweden, South Korea, Hong Kong, Thailand, Singapore, China and obviously, Japan. Enjoy it if you got it.
