PARIS MIKI SINGAPORE

Paris Miki is an internationally-recognised eyewear retailer with over 700 stores located across the world – from Asia, Australia, Europe, and the United States.

50 years since it first opened in Singapore, Paris Miki now has 8 stores across the island, all of which uphold our long-standing tradition of eyewear craftsmanship and customer service.

Origins

Founded in 1930

The Japanese eyewear retailer traces its humble beginnings back to Himeji City, where it started off as a store engaged in the sale of various items including eyewear. Through the years, what has set Paris Miki apart from other brands in the market is its commitment to bringing excellent service to each customer, and its selection of well-crafted, top-of-the-line eyewear. The Japanese value of “omotenashi”, which is to entertain guests wholeheartedly, has been the core value of our business. This is why every time you enter one of our stores, we make sure to give you the unforgettable service that you deserve.
