Elegance, curated. Our optical frames are chosen for their beauty, form and function. They’re artfully crafted with the finest materials available and designed by the world’s leading independent eyewear designers.

Design clarity. Our specially trained knowledgeable staff work closely with every client to discern where they are placed within our collections’ vast design province and how this transfers to their personal optical style.

The latest designer sunglasses. Pushing the boundaries of self expression, our designer sunglasses coexist; contemporaneous in the realm of classic eyewear design yet coeval with contemporary style. Luxurious in composition and materiality, our sun collections allow you to embrace your individuality in a way few can.

Prescription designer sunglasses. Compatible with a vast array of prescription lenses, every frame in our sun collections is carefully selected to work well with prescription lenses.  Our sunglass frame designs cleverly conceal the vision correcting function of prescription lenses, leaving the wearer free to express their style through beautiful eyewear.
