About Oliver Peoples

Twelve Oliver Peoples frames are online, all of them acetate. The brand was founded in Los Angeles by Larry Leight, Dennis Leight and Kenny Schwartz, and opened its first boutique on Sunset Boulevard in 1987. The idea grew from a lot of unworn vintage American frames bought at an estate sale in Connecticut, and those frames set the look: vintage proportions, fine details and no logos on the front. It became a Los Angeles label through and through, close to the city’s film, art and music.

The colours are quiet and the names are particular: Atago Tortoise, Morado Tortoise, Vintage DTBK, Dark Sienna, Cocobolo, Sencha, Kuri Brown, Military, Amaretto / Striped Honey, and black in three finishes, Black, Semi Matte Black and Semi-Matte Black. Because acetate is cut from a solid plate, each of those runs through the rim, and an optician can warm the frame to adjust it.

Rectangles and squares

Five of the twelve are rectangular and four are square, the vintage American proportions the brand started from; the other three are two rounds and a cat-eye. Model names include the Tiello, Fairmont, Deacon, Denison, Berrington, Finley Vintage, Tillen and O’Malley. Eye sizes run from 45mm to 55mm with a median of 49mm: three frames are 45mm or 46mm, six sit between 47mm and 52mm, and three are 53mm or more.

We do not have a verified statement of where Oliver Peoples frames are made, so the brand is on none of our origin pages. Most of these frames are one of a kind. Each ships as a frame, free and insured within the US with a signature on delivery, for your own optician to glaze.

Where are Oliver Peoples glasses made?

Oliver Peoples is a Los Angeles brand, founded there with a first boutique on Sunset Boulevard in 1987. We do not have a verified statement from the brand on where its frames are manufactured, so we do not place it on an origin page and we will not guess here. Ask us about a particular frame and we will tell you what we can confirm.

Do Oliver Peoples glasses have a logo?

Not on the front. The brand’s look was set by a lot of unworn vintage American frames found at a Connecticut estate sale: vintage proportions, fine details and no logos on the front of the frame. Branding stays discreet, off the front. All twelve frames here follow that, in acetate, in colours like Atago Tortoise, Cocobolo and Semi-Matte Black.

Are Oliver Peoples frames vintage?

They are vintage in proportion rather than in age. The brand grew out of a find of unworn vintage American frames and has kept those proportions and details since. Our twelve are current frames, most of them one of a kind: five rectangles, four squares, two rounds and a cat-eye, from 45mm to 55mm across the eye, with a median of 49mm.

Can I get prescription lenses in Oliver Peoples frames?

Yes. Each frame ships as a frame, and your own optician fits the lenses. All twelve are acetate, cut from a solid plate, so the rim hides a thicker lens edge and holds an optician’s adjustment. Our lens guide at /collections/lens-guide explains lens materials and coatings. If you are near one of our shops, the Eye Rx practice can glaze and fit them.
