UNIQUE STYLE · SUPERIOR SERVICE
A luxury eyewear boutique in the heart of Piedmont, Oakland
Eyewear, thoughtfully chosen.
Aperture is not a typical optical store. We offer a slower, more personal experience — an intentionally curated collection of independent designers, shown one-on-one, by private appointment.
OUR APPROACH
No crowded walls. No rushed decisions. Only frames worth trying.
We sit over tea or coffee and talk about what you like in glasses before hand-picking frames for your personality, your face, and your prescription — then match them with the latest, most advanced lenses. Your new glasses will fit perfectly and look like they were made for you.
NEW THIS SEASON
Three new houses, now at Aperture
We've welcomed three independent makers to the studio — each meant to be discovered slowly, in person.
INDEPENDENT BY DESIGN
Frames you won't find anywhere else in Oakland
Our collection features independent designers — Akoni, Blake Kuwahara, Thierry Lasry, Andy Wolf, Pugnale and our own Aperture line — chosen for craft, character, and materials like Japanese titanium and buffalo horn.
Because we remain independent, we can carry rare and handcrafted frames that insurance-affiliated shops simply cannot.
