Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Barton Perreira eyewear special?
Barton Perreira was founded in 2007 by Bill Barton and Patty Perreira, who previously worked together at Oliver Peoples where Bill was chief executive and Patty designed for over eighteen years. Frames are designed in Southern California and handcrafted in Japan in small production runs. The design language is deliberately understated, with no prominent logos, which is why the frames appear so regularly in film and on red carpets.
Where are Barton Perreira glasses made?
Every Barton Perreira frame is handcrafted in Japan by artisan factories the founders have worked with for decades. Materials include Japanese titanium and plant-based acetate made from wood and cotton cellulose. Production runs are kept small, so individual colorways are made in limited quantities.
How much do Barton Perreira glasses cost?
Most Barton Perreira frames range from approximately $470 to $700, with the full selection running from about $350 to $1,050. Acetate models sit in the lower part of the range, while titanium and mixed metal frames cost more.
Who are Bill Barton and Patty Perreira?
Bill Barton began his career as an optician and went on to lead Oliver Peoples as chief executive. Patty Perreira designed eyewear collections for Vera Wang, Prada, Miu Miu, and Paul Smith, and spent more than eighteen years designing at Oliver Peoples. They founded Barton Perreira together in 2007 to build eyewear without compromising on quality or fit.
What are Barton Perreira's most popular models?
The Norton and the Cassady are the two models we stock most deeply at Visionary Optics, both available in multiple sizes. The Janeway, Frederick, Gadson, Raymond, and Oxford are also consistent customer favorites. The right model depends on face shape and how you want the frame to sit, which is why we recommend trying several in person.
Can I get Barton Perreira frames with prescription lenses?
Yes. Every Barton Perreira optical frame at Visionary Optics can be fit with ZEISS prescription lenses, and most single vision prescriptions are ready the same day. We also fit progressive and specialty lens prescriptions, and we can fit prescription lenses into Barton Perreira sunglasses.
