Looking for bespoke eyewear in Adelaide? Meet Pascali, our own independent eyewear label, designed and handmade here in Adelaide by our optometrist, Paul Fotkou. It exists because he wanted frames made with the same care he brings to every appointment, and the freedom to create something truly personal.
Born from an Optometrist's eye
Paul spends his days helping people see clearly and comfortably. Over the years, he found himself wanting more from the frames on offer, more character, better proportions, and colour that reflects the person wearing it. So he started designing his own.
That optometrist’s perspective is what makes Pascali different. Every frame is shaped by someone who understands not just how glasses should look, but how they should sit, fit and feel all day.
Designed in Adelaide
Pascali is designed locally, balancing classic and contemporary styling. Working with skilled designers, Paul develops each model with attention to the details most people never notice but always feel, the curve of the bridge, the angle of the temples, the overall proportion on the face.
The result is eyewear that feels considered rather than mass-produced, in both Italian acetate and metal, with frames to suit a wide range of faces and lifestyles.
Bespoke eyewear, made just for you
At the heart of Pascali is the Signature range, handmade in Adelaide. For those who want something truly their own, we also offer bespoke options, frames tailored to your exact specifications, from colour to shape, so your glasses are as individual as you are. It’s the kind of personal service you simply can’t get from an off-the-shelf brand.
Colour and character
One thing we love about Pascali is colour. From soft, wearable tones to bold statement shades, the frames are designed to reflect personality rather than blend in. Glasses are on your face every day, so they should feel like you. You can visit our Pascali’s archive HERE
Why independent, local eyewear matters
Choosing Pascali means choosing something distinctive, designed by a local optometrist rather than a global corporation, and supported by the team who’ll fit and care for it. And because we design and dispense under one roof, we can pair a Pascali frame with precision ZEISS lenses, fitted exactly to how you see, as a ZEISS Vision Expert Store.
Frequently Asked Questions
Our in-store frames come in a universal size within our colour range, so you can try the styles on straight away. If you'd like a different size or colour, our staff are here to consult, advise and recommend what will suit you best. From there we can order a sample colour so you can see it in person and check availability before committing.
For a customised frame, please allow around 14 working days. We'll keep you updated throughout, and it's well worth the wait for eyewear made specifically for you.
For a standard prescription, lenses are usually ready in about 7 working days. More complex prescriptions can take a little longer, and we'll always give you a clear timeframe at your appointment.
The Signature range is handmade in Italian acetate, chosen for its quality, depth of colour and comfortable, lightweight feel.
