Oliver Peoples at Optical Shop of New Hope
California-born luxury eyewear with a timeless, understated elegance — available exclusively through select independent opticians.
The Oliver Peoples Story
Founded in 1987 in West Hollywood, Oliver Peoples was born from a passion for vintage eyewear and a belief that glasses should be as personal as the person wearing them. Named after a vintage optician's license found in an antique shop, the brand has spent nearly four decades crafting frames that feel simultaneously classic and contemporary. Oliver Peoples is not about trends — it is about enduring style, exceptional materials, and the kind of quiet confidence that comes from wearing something truly well-made.
Craftsmanship & Materials
Every Oliver Peoples frame is a study in restraint and precision. The brand sources the finest Japanese and Italian acetates, hand-polished to a depth of color that mass-market frames simply cannot replicate. Metal frames are crafted from premium titanium and stainless steel, with hinges engineered for decades of smooth, reliable use. The result is eyewear that improves with age — frames that develop a patina and character that makes them uniquely yours.
Japanese & Italian Acetate
Oliver Peoples sources acetate from the world's finest mills — Mazzucchelli in Italy and premium Japanese suppliers — hand-polished to reveal extraordinary depth of color and pattern.
Titanium & Premium Metals
Lightweight, hypoallergenic titanium frames offer exceptional durability and comfort. Each metal frame is finished by hand, with barrel hinges that open and close with a satisfying, precise click.
Custom Lenses
Oliver Peoples partners with premium lens suppliers to offer prescription lenses that match the optical quality of the frames themselves. At Optical Shop of New Hope, Sergio fits every Oliver Peoples frame with Zeiss lenses for the ultimate pairing.
Hand-Finished Details
From the engraved temple tips to the subtle logo placement, every detail on an Oliver Peoples frame is considered and executed by hand. These are not glasses assembled by machine — they are crafted by artisans.
Signature Collections
The Row Collaboration
A refined partnership with Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's The Row label — minimal, architectural frames that embody the brand's shared philosophy of quiet luxury.
Classic Optical
The frames that built the brand. Rounded acetate shapes, keyhole bridges, and subtle color palettes that work as well in a boardroom as they do on a weekend in the country.
Sun Collection
Oliver Peoples sunglasses are among the most coveted in the world — from the iconic Cary Grant-inspired shapes to bold oversized silhouettes that manage to feel effortless rather than showy.
Limited Editions
Each season, Oliver Peoples releases limited-edition colorways and collaborations that reward those who pay attention. Sergio curates the most compelling pieces for the shop.
Icons of Style
Oliver Peoples was born from the spirit of classic Hollywood — frames that defined an era, worn by the men who defined cool.
Gregory Peck
The Intellectual
Atticus Finch. Roman Holiday. Peck's quiet authority and tortoiseshell frames became the archetype of the thoughtful, distinguished gentleman — a look Oliver Peoples has honored ever since.
Cary Grant
The Sophisticate
The gold standard of effortless elegance. Grant's round frames and impeccable tailoring defined a timeless masculinity that transcended fashion — the very spirit Oliver Peoples was founded to capture.
Paul Newman
The Rebel
Cool Hand Luke. Butch Cassidy. Newman wore his frames the way he lived — with an easy, unforced confidence. His aviator-inspired silhouettes remain among the most coveted in the Oliver Peoples archive.
Fitted by Sergio
Oliver Peoples frames reward a precise fit. The brand's signature shapes — many with narrow bridges and specific temple lengths — require an experienced hand to seat correctly on your face. Sergio's nearly 30 years of fitting experience means your Oliver Peoples frames will sit exactly where they should, with lenses centered to your pupils and temples adjusted to your head shape. Many clients tell us their Oliver Peoples frames from Optical Shop of New Hope are the most comfortable glasses they have ever owned.
