OLIVER PEOPLES

Oliver Peoples started in 1986 when optician Larry and Dennis Leight fulfilled their dream and opened their first optical boutique on legendary Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood, California. Earlier that year, they purchased an estate collection of vintage American-made eyewear. The assortment included thousands of beautifully filigreed rimless and metal frames, including clip-on metal sunglasses produced by iconic American companies, such as by Bausch & Lomb and American Optical. All the frames were unworn in mint condition and in their original packaging. It was a goldmine for the Leight's, given their love for 1940s - 1960s eyewear.
