Winelands Square
Bril Galleria
HELLO winelands Square,
Bril Galleria, an Italian inspired space in the Winelands
Welcome to Bril Winelands Square, or as we call it, Bril Galleria. This space is inspired by our trips to Italy, the true home of eyewear. Think quiet streets, small family owned shops, beautiful arches, warm colours and a love for design that feels effortless and timeless. That is the same feeling we wanted to bring into this little corner of Paarl.
The wallpaper in the space is a nod to the Italian Renaissance and the masters who shaped the world of art and culture. For us, Italy is where the heartbeat of eyewear started and where our own creative journey found a lot of its inspiration. Even our lab work and custom lenses draw from that same belief that eyewear should be crafted with care, patience and soul.
Here is a fun bit of local flavour. Winelands Square was not part of the plan. We discovered the space while grabbing coffee and groceries at Checkers Hyper. A small corner unit with a warm afternoon light and a simple layout. It felt right from the first moment. So we trusted the feeling and made it our next Bril Space.
Now Bril Galleria is here. A small, calm, curated place designed to help you find glasses you love, made with the same passion we discovered in Italy.
Come visit, stay a moment and enjoy the experience.
MEET THE TEAM
Dirco Slabbert
Optometrist
Dirco grew up in Thabazimbi, Limpopo. He is a huge lover of game drives and Sevens Rugby, and he is a proud dog dad. He loves new experiences, especially those where he will probably make a fool out of himself!
While studying optometry, Dirco was a wedding videographer based in Gauteng to help pay the bills. Although he has always loved making new friends, in this time he found a deeper appreciation for meeting different kinds of people and experiencing their unique stories behind the lens.
Ever since he experienced the energetic, fun and personal approach to optometry at Bril, he knew that this place was truly special, and fell in love with its values and its people.
Chanté has a strong background in patient care. She is organised, approachable, and enjoys contributing to a positive and efficient work environment.
fun facts
Dirco’s favourite comfort food is melkkos, and when he says he enjoys coffee, he actually means freezos. He also likes to strum a guitar now and then, just for fun.
Chanté is naturally caring and always has a soft spot for others. When she’s not looking out for people, she enjoys cars.
