We are the global leader in the Vintage Eye wear industry. For the past 5 years, we have prided ourselves on being the largest supplier of Vintage Sunglasses to the fashion forward community worldwide. Our company is best known as the personal eye wear consultants to the stars, having the pleasure of working with most of todays top artists. Most of the vintage shades seen in magazines and music videos are hand placed by us. We stock about 100 000 unique frames at any given time and work with the top boutiques worldwide to create a uniquely vintage in-store shopping experience.
Our frames come from our worldwide travels and are hand picked by our knowledgeable fashion historian staff. All of our frames are original unworn 50′s to 80′s brand name glasses. Our staff works closely with artists and trendsetters alike to revive styles once popular in those times. Our shopping experience is unique, as clients get a personal stylist for their eyes as well as a history lesson helping them understand the background and craftsmanship of their chosen frame. Our brands include Cazal, Neostyle, Dior, Persol, Ray-Ban, Porsche, Dunhill, Gucci, Laura Biagiotti and many more.
Besides selling and placing our vintage jewels, our services includes design consultations that many of todays leading designers have had the pleasure to use. By working with our staff, we guide many of the designers from todays top selling current brands through a historical look at eye wear’s past. From this, many elements of past iconic styles are used as the basis of newly produced eye wear. It is for this reason that most of the glasses on the market today have a vintage feel to them.
Even though our company operates on a global scale, we have chosen Montréal to call our home. Our showroom, LArchive, is open during select hours. We have specially curated the boutique to highlight some of the best frames of our collection and to be able to offer a wide selection of different styles. We also offer private appointments to be able to cater to all needs for eyewear enthusiasts. To contact a member of our style team. please call our head office at 1-800-930-6745
