Today, the American eyewear brand Oliver Peoples is opening its very first location in France as it makes its debut in Paris.
The premium brand, founded in Los Angeles in 1987, has chosen the chic first arrondissement of the capital for this location, at 316 rue Saint-Honoré. Taking the place of Stone Island, the vintage-style brand is setting up shop not far from Fragonard, Majestic Filatures and Mad Lords.
In this 60sq m space, Oliver Peoples blends “1960s Left Bank modernism with the curves of Art Nouveau and the grandeur of the Beaux-Arts style”.
Classic Parisian codes are present, with moldings, herringbone parquet flooring and marble details. A Californian touch is added through a palette of blues. French ceramicist Olivia Cognet designed the window displays, as well as a bust to showcase the products.
In addition to purchasing glasses, for example from collections created in partnership with the Khaite brand or tennis player Roger Federer, it is possible to have complete eye exams carried out in the store and have corrective lenses fitted on site.
