Glasses are one of the most important things that define your personality. It’s like wearing your style right in front and in the center, instantly catching the eye. The kind of eyewear or sunglasses you wear says a lot about you and your willingness to make a bold statement or stay unnoticed.
Additionally, glasses can serve a practical purpose by helping to improve vision and correct vision problems such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. They can also provide protection from harmful UV rays and blue light, which can have damaging effects on the eyes over time. Wearing glasses can also be a necessity for those who rely on them to see clearly and perform daily tasks. In this way, glasses can not only enhance your appearance, but also improve your overall quality of life.
The global eyewear market was valued at $110 billion in 2020 and is expected to reach $237 billion in ten years, promising a good 8.4 percent growth. It is a significant increase for an industry that is thriving and promising. Omar Khamis, a young entrepreneur from the United Arab Emirates, saw the potential in the industry and turned his passion for fashion into a successful business.
Founder and owner of KOEYEWEAR, Omar Khamis has always been interested in fashion and the latest trends globally. Living in a place like the UAE further polished his interest, as he was surrounded by the biggest brands from across the globe. He got to experience how fashion evolves over time and how quickly trends change, giving way to innovation. This is when he developed a particular interest in eyewear and founded his own company, KOEYEWEAR.
An eyewear brand that focuses on acetate frames for men, women, unisex and kids, KOEYEWEAR is known for imported frames that are designed in Bali and handmade in Italy. The reason behind it was to provide the customers with high-quality and unique materials to ensure style and durability. “Although eyewear has become quite popular now, people still don’t have a lot of options available at reasonable prices,” Omar Khamis shared. “I aspire to design chic, high-quality eyewear that is chic and stylish as is affordable. At KOEYEWEAR, we promise style with durability.”
Omar Khamis’s mission behind KOEYEWEAR is to provide his customers with a way to add some oomph to their personalities and have an exciting way of life through their daily eyewear. The idea is to bring style and comfort to people and make them stand out from the crowd with their chic and trendy glasses. Each frame has been designed in a different way from the other so that it suits different face shapes. Since these are so diverse, you can invest in a collection of glasses for different occasions as well as your outfit.
This is not all! He has incorporated his love for travelling and his belief in the beauty of diversity in his collection as well. Each item has been named after different cities around the globe to include nations and everyone on this journey of his. For instance, his hottest-selling items for men are Moscow and Chicago; while Paris and Miami sell like hotcakes in unisex. In fact, his latest collection includes eyewear named after places like Abu Dhabi, Milano, Monaco and Ibiza. With these names, people form a bond with various cities and can connect to that particular region.
The passion for sunglasses is what ultimately drove Omar Khamis towards launching his own eyewear brand. “I love wearing fashionable and chic eyewear that goes perfectly with my outfits. I understand that there are other people like me, and KOEYEWEAR is exactly for them.” He continued, “I want to make KOEYEWEAR the best and the biggest eyewear brand in the world so that people from everywhere can share my vision of trendy, durable and comfortable eyewear.”
Sunglasses are not disposable products; hence they have to look timeless, trendy and comfortable even after years. That is why Omar Khamis pays extra attention to the quality of the frames, ensuring longevity and ease, so the customers are happy while investing in his sunglasses or eyesight glasses. “I believe in creating a relationship with my customers, which is why my goal is to not only make the best eyewear but also establish outstanding customer service,” he said. “My customer range is vast; from kids to adults, men to women, KOEYEWEAR caters to everyone; hence I need to make sure that my product and service are both creating an impact,” Omar added.
A young, creative and bright entrepreneur from the UAE, Omar Khamis started his business in the mid of 2022 and, within a short span of time, has managed to carve his niche in the eyewear industry. Not only is his customer base increasing by the day, but his sunglasses are also becoming the talk of the town. With the right attitude, an innovative approach towards business and no compromise on quality, Omar Khamis is all set to take his brand to new heights that no eyewear brand has achieved to date.
