Mallon & Taub

The ethos behind Mallon & Taub is to ‘dress the eyes and have fun doing so’, and Joan Mallon and Shanah Taub have made every effort to deliver. The philosophy seems to be echoed in the boutique’s stylish interior: slate floors, weekly fresh flowers, and friendly and knowledgeable staff to talk customers through eye-care issues as well as new developments – new high-tech varifocals, perhaps, or glasses geared for high-energy sport. Specs on offer include all the main brands including Oliver Peoples, Alain Mikli and Cutler & Gross as well as Booth & Bruce, Maui Jim, Fred and Robert Marc. There’s also a nice range of sunglasses.
