Our story
Since 1980, The Brass Monocle has been Calgary’s destination for high-end, distinctive eyewear and personalized eye care. What began at our original Mount Royal location has grown into two carefully curated boutiques, including our downtown CORE store. While our spaces have evolved, our commitment to quality and service remains unchanged.
We offer an ever-evolving selection of iconic sunglasses and frames for both men and women, sourced from around the world and handpicked for their innovation, craftsmanship, and style. From bold statement pieces to timeless designs, our collections feature independent brands you won’t find anywhere else in the city. At Mount Royal, in-house optometry services with Dr. Shelly Taneja ensure we meet all your vision needs with the same attention to detail and care that’s defined us for over four decades.
