In early 1986, Larry Leight purchased an estate collection of vintage American-made eyewear that included thousands of beautifully crafted frames produced by iconic American companies. When he decided to sell the collection in the first optical boutique in West Hollywood, CA, it seemed fitting they use the name of the original owner “Oliver Peoples.” It was then that the Oliver Peoples vision was realized: to design a collection of vintage-inspired eyewear and create a unique retail experience in a gallery-like setting. Fast forward to present day, Oliver Peoples still maintains it's status as a notable high end line in the ever-expanding world of fashionable eyewear.
