In an age of endless fashion blogs and celebrity style-stalking, it’s almost impossible for a brand with a famous following to go largely under the radar. But that’s just what luxury eyewear brand Barton Perriera has done.

Finally moving into the spotlight, the Californian-based label (the lovechild of three Oliver People’s alumni) is stocked at the world’s most prestigious boutiques, both online and bricks ‘n mortar  Mr Porter, Collette Paris, Harvey Nichols and Dover Street Market – and opened their fourth stand-alone boutique earlier this year, a flagship in New York city.

To wear a pair of Barton Perriera shades is to understand quality. The strong, lightweight frames engineered from steel and titanium are handmade in Japan using high-end materials and ancient making techniques in unisex styles that fit perfectly on the face and are inspired by mid-century architecture and fabulous, far-flung places (think the French Riviera in the ’50s or St Tropez in the ’70s).

With sell-out collaborations with the likes of Opening Ceremony, Chloe Sevigny and Barney’s New York, it’s little wonder that the discerning celebrity set have found favour with this boutique brand. But don’t take our word for it – just look at the long list of celeb fans, like Samuel L Jackson (his signature spectacles are Bartons), Chrissy Teigan, Lady Gaga and Michelle Obama, then decide for yourself.
