When my daughter needed glasses at just four years old, I was stunned by how few options felt right. Everything was too harsh, too bold, too bulky for her sweet little face. We finally settled on a pair that she felt relatively content with, but the journey didn’t end there.

The hardest moment came weeks later, when she walked through our door quieter than usual. Someone had made fun of her for wearing glasses. That day, my heart broke. And, a seed was planted.

I didn’t want my daughter, or any little girl, to see glasses as something to dread. I wanted her to feel beautiful in them. To feel joy. To feel magic. To feel excitement about "getting" to wear glasses.

So, with her by my side, I learned to see eyewear through the eyes of a child. Not what grown-ups in the eyewear industry think girls should wear, but what a little girl would be proud to put on each morning. Frames that feel like treasures, not a burdensome medical device.

Every design is my love letter to my daughter, and to every child who deserves to see clearly and feel radiant while doing it. These frames are crafted not only to fit her face, but to reflect her spirit.

What began as a difficult moment has become a mission: to create something so whimsical and so enchanting, that girls will love wearing their glasses.

My quiet wish? To create glasses so lovely, so full of wonder, that even the girls who once teased her might secretly wish they needed a pair too.

Once Upon a Charm - For the girls who dream, the mothers who never give up, and the love that makes magic possible.
