The brand

What makes Barton Perreira Barton Perreira.

Founded by Bill Barton and Patty Perreira, two icons of American eyewear, Barton Perreira frames have a look of effortless old-Hollywood ease — perfectly proportioned acetates, refined metal detailing, and a palette of colors that you only notice once you see them on.

Why we carry Barton Perreira

The details that matter.

Made in Japan

Every frame is hand-assembled in small batches in Japan with the level of finish you expect from couture.

Optical and sun

Including the brand's signature 007 collection of frames worn in recent James Bond films.

Private collection

We maintain a curated edit of BP frames you won't find at most retailers, including limited shapes and colorways.

In person

The full Barton Perreira collection
is in our cases.

Both Glimpse locations carry the active Barton Perreira lineup. Bring a friend, take photos, try every shape twice. Our opticians have spent decades fitting these frames; their input is part of the price.
