All Excellent Things Are Rare.
We took our name from an ancient Roman truth: Omnia Praeclara Rara - “All excellent things are rare.” At OPR, rarity isn’t a marketing angle. It’s a belief system.We don’t mass produce. We don’t follow trends. We create lasting beauty for those who lead with distinction, not conformity.
A Collector’s Experience.
A Personal Journey.
Your OPR experience is as rare as the frames themselves. Whether you visit our Manhattan atelier or meet with us virtually, we take the time to understand not just your face - but your presence, your movement, your point of view.This isn’t about choosing frames. It’s about discovering the pair that already belongs to you.
From Italy, With Intention.
Each OPR frame is sculpted in small batches by Italian master artisans using biodegradable acetate and hand-finished detailing. The process is slow, precise, and passed through more than 80 skilled hands. No rushing. No compromise. Just generational craft, shaped with reverence and intention.
Frames With a Point of View
Our collections are designed to be lived in. Each frame balances boldness with restraint, modernity with timelessness. We release designs only when they’re ready - never because the calendar says it’s time.

Meet The Founders
OPR was born from a shared obsession - design that speaks, craft that endures, and a belief that true beauty resists mass appeal. What began between two longtime friends became a pursuit of the rare, the personal, the quietly extraordinary. Rooted in the Latin phrase Omnia Praeclara Rara - “All excellent things are rare” - OPR is both our name and our north star.
Consciously Crafted. Unapologetically Distinct.
Sustainability isn’t a checkbox - it’s a foundation. By using raw material that are plant-based and biodegradable, our production is small-batch and waste-aware. We believe in a slower, more mindful, and more personal approach. Because the things we make reflect the values we live by.
