Barton Perreira Eyewear

Founded in 2007 by Bill Barton and Patty Perreira, Barton Perreira quickly gained a loyal following for its unique approach to eyewear design, elevating glasses from a functional necessity to a statement of personal style. Barton, a former president of Oliver Peoples, and Perreira, an esteemed designer in the industry, came together with a vision to create eyewear that blends timeless aesthetics with cutting-edge innovation.

They have created a strong brand DNA which is reflected in every single Barton Perreira collection. It represents a casual California approach to luxury, based on precise craftsmanship. Every pair of glasses is handmade in Japan, a country known for its heritage of artisanal mastery in eyewear production. Each frame undergoes an extensive production process, often taking weeks to complete, as the team ensures precision in every detail. From the hand-polished acetate frames to the titanium nose pads, every component is meticulously crafted to guarantee comfort, durability, and beauty. It is these characteristics that make us proud to stock them at Auerbach & Steele for our customers in Chelsea.

Patty Perreira’s designs are characterized by their sophisticated simplicity, which subtly bridges the gap between contemporary design and classic elegance. Each pair of Barton Perreira glasses is designed to be timeless, resisting fleeting trends and instead embracing shapes and colours that can be worn for years. Perreira often draws inspiration from diverse sources, including vintage fashion, architecture, and global culture, to create frames that are both contemporary and timeless.

Barton Perreira's commitment to quality extends beyond design and into material selection. The brand is known for its use of premium materials like Japanese acetate, which offers flexibility, durability, and a beautiful finish. The company also integrates titanium into many of its designs, particularly for the temples and nose bridges. Titanium is favoured for its lightweight nature and hypoallergenic properties, ensuring that Barton Perreira frames remain comfortable for long periods.

Barton Perreira sunglasses have become a go-to accessory for those seeking a blend of style and quality. The brand’s sunglasses are often spotted on the likes of Brad Pitt, Gigi Hadid, and Ryan Gosling, all of whom appreciate the refined aesthetic and subtle luxury that the brand represents.

Barton Perreira has redefined what eyewear can be, offering a blend of artisanal craftsmanship, luxurious materials, and timeless design. The brand’s ability to consistently innovate while maintaining a commitment to quality has solidified its place as a leader in the luxury eyewear market.
