Vintage Frames Company is a globally recognized eyewear brand built on a passion for vintage culture, timeless craftsmanship, and bold self-expression. Founded in 2008 by Corey Shapiro, the company began with a simple but powerful vision: to preserve the legacy of vintage eyewear while redefining modern style through authenticity and creativity.
Our Story
Vintage Frames Company started as a mission to search the world for rare, authentic vintage eyewear. From the early days, our team traveled internationally to source deadstock vintage frames—unworn original pieces—from the 1950s through the early 2000s. Over time, this dedication led to the creation of one of the largest vintage eyewear archives in the world, with an extensive collection representing decades of iconic fashion history.
As the brand grew, so did the demand from a global community seeking unique eyewear that reflects personality and individuality. In 2018, Vintage Frames Company expanded beyond archival pieces and began designing its own collections. These designs combine classic vintage inspiration with contemporary luxury elements, delivering eyewear that honors the past while embracing modern trends.
Our Vision
At Vintage Frames Company, eyewear is more than a functional accessory—it is a statement of identity. We believe glasses should reflect individuality, creativity, and confidence. Our brand draws deep inspiration from music, street culture, and fashion history, blending heritage aesthetics with modern innovation to create frames that stand out in any setting.
Our goal has always been to create a new lane in the optical industry by preserving vintage techniques while delivering premium-quality craftsmanship. Every frame reflects careful material selection, attention to detail, and respect for the legacy of traditional eyewear production methods.
Craftsmanship and Heritage
Vintage Frames Company is dedicated to maintaining the artistry of traditional eyewear production. Instead of relying solely on modern mass-production techniques, we embrace classic methods inspired by the golden era of eyewear manufacturing. This approach ensures that every design retains the character and authenticity that defined earlier generations of luxury frames.
Each collection is thoughtfully designed by blending historic silhouettes with modern finishing touches. From oversized shapes to bold colorways and distinctive patterns, our frames are created to make a lasting impression while delivering durability and comfort.
Our Global Community
From collectors and fashion enthusiasts to celebrities and everyday trendsetters, Vintage Frames Company serves a diverse and passionate global audience. Over the years, the brand has built a loyal following by offering distinctive eyewear that allows wearers to express their individuality with confidence.
With flagship locations and worldwide shipping, we continue to expand our reach while maintaining the same commitment to quality and authenticity that defined our beginnings.
