Graz eyewear thinks sunny thoughts at Optiko, Fortitude Valley

There are only ten stores in the world that stock Graz eyewear, and Optiko on James Street, Fortitude Valley is one of them.

Created by Bondi Beach native Graz Mulcahy, Graz eyewear has beckoned a cult following since its conception. Having founded AM Eyewear in 2001 at the age of 19, followed by the creation of Ksubi Eyewear, Graz has grown an international posse of followers through his fashion endeavours and high-profile DJ gigs.

Under his namesake label, he’s collaborated with Ellery and Chronicles of Never, with projects currently in the works for Paul Smith and Jeremy Scott. After discovering a lack of interesting sunglasses that straddled both functional and artistic edges, Graz was inspired to handcraft his own line to fill the void. His latest collection is a testament to this intersection of form and function, covering both sun and optic styles. Stocked globally in stores like Barney’s New York, you can pick up a pair of your own from spectacle mecca Optiko on James Street.
