Every OPR frame is handcrafted in Italy, across a small group of family-run ateliers we know by name. Some of these relationships began before OPR existed, during the decade we lived in Italy together.
The acetate is made of cotton and wood pulp, produced in Italy, the kind that has clothed European eyewear since the nineteenth century. What you will wear is the result of over eighty deliberate steps, shaped by people who learned the craft from their mentor, for a face we studied before you arrived.

“We built OPR because the frame on your face should be a reflection of who you really are, not an approximation of it. And no one should have to find that frame alone.”
We have seen, across hundreds of fittings, how rarely someone has been shown the frame that was actually theirs. That changed what we thought our job was - every artisan we work with in Italy, every silhouette refined over months, every appointment structured to give you what you actually deserve: someone who pays full attention.
The experience speaks
for itself.
"All the glasses are handmade in Italy, and you can truly feel the quality... Idriss, the owner, is incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about helping you find the perfect frame for your face shape."
"What a gem! The owners design and source the materials themselves in Italy. Manufactured there and directly shipped to their Atelier in New York. No middle man. Which means that you get an exquisite product for a reasonable price"
"You can tell they love what they do and are happy to help you find something that truly suits you. No pressure, just great advice and amazing taste."
"Every frame feels like it was made with intention, because it was. Thoughtfully designed, made in Italy, and clearly crafted to last."
