Written by The Lovely Brunette aka Tasha Ayacanou-Bundhoo
In the heart of the vibrant and colorful city of Port-Louis, a new local gem has emerged: Helios Eyewear’s latest store, snugged within the trendy La Place, Sir William Newton Street!
Join me as we discover the newly opened shop and how this Made In Moris eyewear brand beautifully mirrors our city’s colorful spirit.
A Match Made in Heaven
Located in the bustling capital, it is without a doubt that the new store offers unparalleled accessibility to fashion enthusiasts and eyewear aficionados.
From the lively street food vendors that fill the air with the aroma of exotic spices to the colorful murals that turn the streets into a kaleidoscope of joy, Port-Louis has always been a dynamic playground for the senses. This prime location is what makes the new Helios Eyewear store more than just a destination; it is a match made in heaven. The shop seamlessly integrates into the daily rhythm of the city, making it easier than ever for you to explore the latest trends that the brand has to offer.
No need to embark on a tiresome stroll to find much-needed shades in Port-Louis, the city of blaring sun! In addition to being located in the capital of the island, the store is ideally positioned a stone’s throw away from popular attractions! It is a quick 2-minute walk from the central market and an 8-minute walk from Le Caudan Waterfront. So, whether you’re running daily errands or looking to sink your teeth into street food for lunch, everything’s within arm’s reach as you step out of the store
La Place: The Perfect Hideaway
It was the first time that I visited La Place. The moment I walked in, I was greeted by the sight of lush green plants swaying gently under the warm sunlight. I was in awe of how tastefully the outdoor space was designed, but mostly stunned by how this little urban oasis silenced the bustle and hustle outside. As I made my way towards the store (bonus point: it could be effortlessly seen from the entrance), I knew my experience would be light-hearted and relaxed.
Helios Eyewear Distinctive Collections
This new Helios Eyewear store may be small, but it’s bursting with character and style! From classic designs to bold statements, they’ve got it all covered. You’ll find timeless pieces as well as limited editions and best-sellers. It felt like my fingertips were cruising through a collection of locally crafted stylish frames.
Staying true to its distinctive style, the shop’s decor showcases locally handmade art that adds a touch of authenticity that I always drool over! As you enter the shop, you will be welcomed by a colorful mural hand-painted by the local artist, Baba Gaïa and a unique macramé plant hanger handwoven by the talented Tania Abellard that immediately lights up the store.
Personal Shopping Experience
The intimate space instantly makes you feel at ease, delivering a personal shopping experience. I was warmly welcomed by Coralee and her great smile. When we started to talk about the different sunglasses and optical collections in the shop, I knew that the focus wasn’t just on selling eyewear; it was about crafting a personalized shopping journey.
A little tip when you visit any Helios Eyewear stores across the island: reach out to the team! They understand the nuances of style and functionality, and this will help you find the perfect frames that not only fit your face but also align with your personality and lifestyle.
With its thoughtfully designed collections and local craftsmanship support, the new Helios Eyewear store celebrates the city’s collective zest for life. This is indeed a must-visit for anyone looking to frame their world with flair
