Bril Boetiek
HELLO Durbanville,
Bril Boetiek, French-inspired boutique right in town
Welcome to Bril Durbanville, or as we like to call it, Bril Boetiek—a touch of French-inspired charm right here in our town! Just like a boutique, our space is small, cozy, and filled with the latest in fashionable eyewear. But there’s more to discover than just glasses. Take a moment to check out our wallpaper featuring the iconic “Girl with the Pearl Earring.” Here’s a fun fact—the pearl is a nod to Marlize’s journey that started at our flagship store in Paarl. Just like that famous earring, our space radiates sophistication, charm, and a touch of intrigue. We believe in keeping things simple, letting every detail shine.
And here’s a bit of local flavour: Did you know Durbanville was originally called Pampoenkraal? It’s one of Cape Town’s oldest municipalities! We actually found our spot by accident, just driving by when a “for rent” sign caught our eye. The rest, as they say, is history. Now, Bril Boetiek is here, ready to help you find the perfect pair of glasses that suits your style
MEET THE TEAM
Marlize Bothma
Optometrist
Marlize’s journey in optometry began at the end of 2006 with a private group, and from there she worked her way up to managing a large practice in the Northern Suburbs for a few years. After that she spent several years locuming while raising her little ones, until she found her dream job in 2023 at Bril in Paarl.
Since then, she has fallen in love with the Bril brand and its people and decided to anchor herself in this brand. She absolutely love Bril’s passion for the optometry industry, as well as their dedication and commitment to their clients. What really stands out to her is how Bril approach optometry differently — making it fun and quirky.
She’s passionate about helping others, even in small ways, and she always try to be a light in other people’s lives by spreading happiness wherever she goes. And she’s not doing this alone! Together with Jandre, our amazing Optical Assistant, who has been in the optometry field for the past three years – they make sure every client’s experience is top-notch.
Fun Fact
Did you know Marlize and Werner go way back? They studied together, making them a great team! Marlize doesn’t drink coffee (yep, you read that right!) and prefers to eat her pizza with a knife and fork. As for Jandre, our nature enthusiast, she’s always ready for an adventure. Hiking and camping have been her favourite activities since her scout days, and a little bad weather has never stopped her from exploring!
