Historical Context
Launched in 2000 after years designing for Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein, John Varvatos built his namesake label around a distinctly American vision of luxury—blending tailored menswear with the rebellious spirit of rock 'n' roll. His collections became known for refined materials, vintage influences, and meticulous attention to detail, earning him multiple CFDA Menswear Designer of the Year awards.

For select eyewear collections, Varvatos chose Japanese manufacturing, a decision that reflected the brand's commitment to craftsmanship over mass production. By the early 2000s, "Made in Japan" had become one of the most respected designations in the optical industry, with the vast majority of premium Japanese frames produced in Sabae, Fukui. Renowned for precision engineering, hand-finishing, and exceptional quality control, Japanese manufacturers were trusted by luxury brands seeking the highest standards of construction rather than simply a prestigious logo.

Customer Reviews

Overall rating: 5 / 5 from 31 reviews.

They arrived safe! The package got routed weirdly through USPS (NYC>AZ>Ohio>Georgia>San Diego) so the box was banged up, but the glasses were totally fine! Everything was as pictured, fit me and look great! Thank you so much to Maureen and her team for getting me something I've dreamed of for years :)

Trinity | 1997 Matrix Sunglasses

The sunglasses seem completely unused, they are NOS! Lovely communication, quick delivery, well packed. Anytime again! Thank you!

"Trinity" 1990s Matrix Sunglasses

Awesome glasses, titanium frame is super light and sturdy, the design is very unique and cool without being too outlandish. They also came with a really cool triangular prism folding carrying case.

"Transmission" 1990s Blinde Sunglasses

Very happy with the glasses- sweet people packed my order with a handwritten note. Haven't worn them out much but they fit and they're comfortable, they actually look right, not tacky. Fits my smallerish face without looking too big. Thanks!

"Trinity" 1990s Matrix Sunglasses

The Matrix glasses are incredible and fit perfectly. The virtual try on feature is a game changer and helped me make the right choice based on my face shape without any guesswork. The personal touch throughout the whole experience was great, I highly highly recommend!
