Oliver Peoples was founded in 1987 with the opening of its first boutique and launch of the original collection. From the beginning, Oliver Peoples had a passion for superior product, a distinctive culture rooted in California, and an obsession with service. These core values have remained at the foundation of the brand and endure today.
Since the debut of the first Oliver Peoples collection in 1987, the same passion for the product, details, and finest materials has endured. Each frame is handcrafted in a dedicated factory, with careful attention to detail.
The end result is an authentic design with bespoke, handmade details that are distinctive and unique.
culture and passion
Oliver Peoples was born in the heart of West Hollywood, California, on iconic Sunset Boulevard. The unique culture of Los Angeles remains at the core of the brand’s DNA.
Each style in the Oliver Peoples collection is conceived and designed in the West Hollywood headquarters, taking inspiration from everything including films, books, travel, magazines, and archival pieces.
Oliver Peoples is recognized for its selection of superior polarized and photocrhomic mineral glass sun lenses, which combine the finest material available with the most advanced technologies in the world.
The iconic brand symbols are applied to the glass through an ink transfer. An oleophopic coating is then applied and the lense is washed, removing the ink from the transfer.
