The Collection

T Henri

Where high-octane automotive design meets the pinnacle of Japanese micro-production, hand-drawn by designer Tyler Henri and meticulously brought to life through a grueling 250-step process in Sabae, Japan, each frame is a masterclass in structural artistry. Drawing aesthetic cues from the sweeping lines, aerodynamic ventilation, and rich materials of the world’s most exotic hypercars, T Henri pieces feature robust 8mm to 10mm hand-carved acetates, solid titanium connections, and rich 18K gold finishes. We carry T Henri because they represent the absolute peak of “prestige exclusivity”—every single colorway is part of a strictly limited, serialized micro-production of 199 pieces or fewer worldwide. When a style sells out, it is gone forever, offering our clients a truly individual, hyper-collectible piece of wearable art.

Chopard

Rooted in the legendary heritage of the Swiss watchmaker and jeweler founded in 1860, Chopard Eyewear brings the pinnacle of red-carpet glamour and haute joaillerie to Framed Eyewear. Each frame functions less like an accessory and more like a fine piece of jewelry for the face. Handcrafted in Italy, the women’s collections draw direct design cues from Chopard’s most iconic jewelry lines—featuring the playful geometry of Ice Cube structures, the floral elegance of Precious Lace, and the fluid poetry of Happy Diamonds. We carry Chopard because they are a magnificent celebration of opulence. Finished with generous 23-karat gold plating and meticulously hand-set Austrian crystals, these silhouettes offer an unmatched level of radiance and prestige for the discerning collector.

Barton Perreira

Founded in Los Angeles by optical industry icons Bill Barton and Patty Perreira, this independent powerhouse has redefined modern luxury by pairing effortless Southern California culture with unrivaled Japanese engineering. Eschewing flashy logos and fleeting trends, Barton Perreira focuses entirely on pure silhouettes, elegant proportions, and a “design without compromise” philosophy. Every frame is treated as an evolution of form, drawing inspiration from art, mid-century architecture, and vintage fashion. We carry Barton Perreira at Framed Eyewear because their collections are the epitome of quiet luxury—offering sophisticated, highly wearable investment pieces that adapt flawlessly to your personal style rather than dictating it.

Matsuda

Founded in Tokyo in 1967 by legendary fashion designer Mitsuhiro Matsuda, this historic house seamlessly melds avant-garde architectural geometry with traditional Japanese heritage. Every single frame is a masterpiece of slow luxury, requiring up to two years and a staggering 250 individual steps to complete by hand in the legendary workshops of Sabae, Japan. We carry Matsuda at Framed Eyewear because they are true collector’s pieces—famously utilizing hyper-premium materials like solid sterling silver, custom Japanese acetate, and 18K gold plating, all intricately detailed by the world’s last remaining master hand-engravers. It is eyewear crafted for the true connoisseur who views their frames not just as an accessory, but as a museum-grade work of art.

Say-oH

Born in the serene countryside workshop of Sanjō, Japan, Say-oH is a beautiful rebellion against the “faster and cheaper” world of mass production. Founded by a former research scientist and engineer who grew disillusioned with corporate conformity, the brand acts as a collective of independent artisans—bringing together painters, silversmiths, opticians, and designers under one roof. While most Japanese eyewear is sent across dozens of different piecework factories, Say-oH is one of the rare independent houses that cuts, sculpts, tumbles, and hand-finishes every single titanium and plant-based acetate frame entirely in-house. We carry Say-oH at Framed Eyewear because their frames have a palpable human soul. They balance a playful, neoclassic-pop aesthetic with meticulous, honest Japanese construction, creating striking shapes that make you look twice without shouting for attention.

Lindberg

Born out of a Danish optician’s quest for ultimate comfort, Lindberg has completely revolutionized contemporary eyewear by introducing the world to the beauty of architectural minimalism. Stripping away all unnecessary elements, Lindberg frames famously dispense with screws, rivets, and welds, relying instead on patented, interlocking titanium wire loops and hinges. We carry Lindberg at Framed Eyewear because they represent the absolute pinnacle of discreet, “quiet luxury”—each frame is custom-made to order, blending ultra-lightweight Danish functionalism with premium materials like pure biocompatible titanium, fine acetate, and ethically sourced natural horn. Weighing as little as 1.9 grams, it is the definitive choice for the design purist who wants their eyewear to be remarkably strong, completely personalized, and practically weightless.

Anne & Valentin

For more than thirty years, Anne & Valentin has cultivated a reputation as the pinnacle of expressive French eyewear. Every frame begins as a soulful, hand-drawn concept, which is then meticulously brought to life through a rigorous 30-step cutting and finishing process. To ensure unmatched quality, the brand maintains a dual-heritage manufacturing ethos: their rich, multi-layered block acetates are handcrafted in the historic Jura region of France, while their intricate, ultra-lightweight pure titanium collections are masterfully engineered in Japan. We curated Anne & Valentin for our Downtown Wake Forest boutique because they masterfully balance artistic fantasy with rigid ergonomic precision—delivering highly comfortable, remarkably durable pieces that command the room through quiet, intelligent design.

Porsche Design

Grounded in the absolute conviction that “if you analyze the function of an object, its form often becomes obvious,” Porsche Design brings legendary German precision and minimalist luxury to our collection. Born from the same design studio that created the iconic Porsche 911, this eyewear dispenses with the transient whims of fashion in favor of timeless, purist architecture. Every frame is an exercise in structural innovation—engineered in partnership with Rodenstock and masterfully crafted using high-performance materials like pure Japanese titanium, carbon fiber, and proprietary RXP® polyamide. We carry Porsche Design at Framed Eyewear because they represent the definitive marriage of performance and style, utilizing advanced Vision Drive™ lens tech and completely hidden or exposed mechanical hinges that deliver a flawless, ultra-lightweight fit for the discerning individual.

Maui Jim

Born on the beaches of Lahaina, Maui Jim represents the gold standard in premium polarized sun protection. While many brands prioritize fashion over function, Maui Jim effortlessly delivers on both, offering an unparalleled optical experience that literally changes how you see the world. At the heart of every frame is their revolutionary, patented PolarizedPlus2® lens technology. Instead of just dimming the light, these lenses eliminate 99.9% of glare and block 100% of harmful UV rays while managing blue light and shifting color spectrums—boosting natural colors to be incredibly vibrant, crisp, and true to life. We carry Maui Jim at Framed Eyewear because their commitment to absolute visual clarity, structural durability, and eye health ensures our clients never have to compromise between striking style and elite performance.

Vinylize

For music purists, audiophiles, and history collectors, Vinylize offers something entirely unprecedented: the chance to literally wear the music. Handcrafted in a dedicated workshop in Budapest, Hungary, every single Vinylize frame is sculpted from an actual, upcycled vintage vinyl record. The brilliant concept fuses the textured track grooves of a real record to a premium, hypoallergenic Italian cellulose acetate backing. We carry Vinylize at Framed Eyewear because these aren’t just accessories—they are pieces of physical music history with a tangible human soul. Because track lengths, groove depths, and dynamic spectrums vary from record to record, no two frames in the world share the exact same pattern. It’s a striking, tactile statement piece that lets your eyewear tell a story that resonates.

Blackfin

Sculpted entirely in the heart of Italy from hyper-premium Japanese titanium, Blackfin defines the absolute vanguard of contemporary, minimalist luxury. Each frame is a marvel of technical perfection, laser-cut from a single solid sheet of titanium to create an architectural profile that is completely hypoallergenic, incredibly flexible, and practically weightless on the face. We carry Blackfin at Framed Eyewear because they represent the peak of structural engineering and clean, European sophistication. Finished with spectacular, hand-painted color gradients that catch the light from every angle, Blackfin is designed for the modern minimalist who demands flawless mechanical execution, sleek lines, and unparalleled structural integrity.
