Privately held and owned by Jake, Burton's headquarters are in Burlington, Vermont with offices in California, Austria, Japan and Australia.
Great price, fast serviceI was in Paris last week and regretted not buying a pair of optical frames from a very niche Japanese brand that is difficult to find in Australia. I found the pair I liked on Italist. It was cheaper than if I had bought in Paris. The pair of glasses arrived via DHL within a few days. Very impressed and will shop here again.
