Oliver Peoples tells the adventure of a little shop overlooking Sunset Boulevard, which in the space of a few years became a million dollar company. Today their glasses are worn by stars of the stature of Brad Pitt, Elton John, Jay-Z and Spike Lee. It was during the 90s that optician Larry Leigh bought, at an auction, some boxes of vintage glasses, thousands of frames, completely anonymously, accompanied by a label addressed to a certain Oliver Peoples. Thus was born the idea of launching a collection of vintage super-luxury, dedicated to the mysterious Oliver. It was only a matter of time before worldwide success.
Our Picks 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.
