Meet Oliver Peoples - sunglasses inspired by Hollywood

Inspired by Hollywood

Founded in 1987, with its first store on Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood, Oliver Peoples has built a legacy of timeless eyewear. The brand draws inspiration from vintage American design and is characterized by the distinctive culture and environment of Los Angeles.

With a focus on exclusive materials, advanced lens technology, and subtle, logo-free details, Oliver Peoples embodies a discreet form of luxury and craftsmanship that stands the test of time.

Over the years, the brand has cultivated a loyal following of style-conscious individuals who appreciate Oliver Peoples' laid-back confidence, meticulous design language, and sophisticated aesthetics. We see Oliver Peoples eyewear on both celebrities and the big screen. Throughout the years, Oliver Peoples glasses have adorned the faces of stars such as Harrison Ford, Angelina Jolie, Bruce Willis, and Robert Downey Jr. On film, we notably see them on Brad Pitt in Fight Club and Christian Bale in American Psycho.

California Heritage Meets Japanese Craftsmanship

Behind the relaxed surface lies an uncompromising view on craftsmanship and quality. Oliver Peoples combines its Californian heritage with Japanese and Italian craftsmanship, where precision and material choice take center stage.

Frames made of titanium and acetate are crafted with deeply rooted eyewear expertise and great precision. This is evident in everything from fit to finish, aspects that may not be visible from a distance but are felt immediately upon wearing them and in the subtle details.

The result of Oliver Peoples eyewear is a discreet luxury that becomes all the more compelling.

Icons from Oliver Peoples

Paul Newman

The Oliver Peoples Paul Newman collection is a tribute to a man whose style remained as effortless as his legacy. With refined design, exclusive color combinations, and frames that reflect Newman’s timeless expression, the collection connects to his signature look, from film sets to the racetrack and relaxed days off stage. The model is characterized by its distinctive drop-shaped lens design, crafted by Barberini®, subtle details, and Italian craftsmanship.

Gregory Peck

Inspired by one of the most respected actors in the film industry, Oliver Peoples' Gregory Peck sunglasses pay tribute to the legendary Gregory Peck, best remembered as Atticus Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird from 1962. Together with the Peck Estate, Oliver Peoples has reinterpreted the iconic glasses worn in the film and created an elegant sunglass model where classic design meets modern finesse.

O'Malley

Oliver Peoples O'Malley is one of the brand's most iconic models, inspired by the classic eyewear worn by Peter O'Malley, former owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Since its launch in 1988, the model has established itself as an essential part of Oliver Peoples' design heritage. With its vintage-influenced shape, crafted from acetate and marked by solid craftsmanship, O'Malley combines timeless elegance with a character that has made it one of the most recognizable frames in the eyewear world.

Cary Grant

Oliver Peoples Cary Grant sunglasses draw inspiration from the style that made Cary Grant an undeniable symbol of classic elegance. The model is based on the sunglasses he wore in Alfred Hitchcock's North by Northwest from 1959, capturing the essence of timeless Hollywood refinement. With their softly rounded shape and defined acetate construction, the frames convey a sophisticated aesthetic that evokes one of film history's most iconic style icons.
