“We make eyewear – it’s in our blood. We believe a frame should not only flatter and complement, but express who you really are.”
For over fifteen years, we have designed our frames in the spirit of a constant renewal of form and color. We combine our savoir-faire with an equal mix of respect and anti-conformism, to create frames that never let you down.
We create nothing that doesn’t already exist within you. Our design process is akin to alchemy; mixing geometric cuts, brilliant colors and materials. Our collections reflect the paradox of spontaneity combined with meticulous design.

Red or yellow sunglasses didn’t exist before then, nor did glasses that combined two or three colors.
David’s brand focuses on the idea of being free, being human, being multi-ethnic and cultured. It boasts bold designs for all types of people, in never before seen color combinations that emphasize the personality within individual faces.

l.a.Eyeworks began on September 9, 1979 when Barbara McReynolds and Gai Gherardi opened a single storefront on Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles, California. The original whim for this adventure? To challenge the prevailing norms of eyewear with proposals for a new, provocative revelation of the face. More than three decades and hundreds of frame designs later, l.a.Eyeworks remains a privately owned house of optical imagination. Original, often iconoclastic, and always invigorating, eyeglasses designed by l.a.Eyeworks are immediately recognized for their bold shapes, imaginative handling of materials, and expressive use of color. Although l.a.Eyeworks have graced the faces of celebrities, performers, artists, and athletes, the deeper intention is for you to find a frame that conforms to no fashion sensibility but your own.
