Barton Perreira is a premium eyewear brand that embodies refined craftsmanship, minimalist aesthetics, and modern luxury. The brand was founded by Bill Barton and Patty Perreira, whose vision was to create eyewear that feels timeless rather than trend-driven. Each frame reflects a philosophy of quiet elegance, pieces designed to complement the wearer, not dominate their look.
Barton Perreira was founded in 2007 by two people who had already helped shape modern luxury eyewear — and decided it was time to do it entirely on their own terms. Bill Barton began his career as an optician before becoming CEO of Oliver Peoples, where he learned the intricacies of the industry from the ground up.
Patty Perreira spent 18 years as a designer at Oliver Peoples and served as a creative consultant for Prada, Miu Miu, Vera Wang, and Paul Smith — before channeling everything she had learned into a brand built purely around craft and feeling.
Together, they created Barton Perreira: an independent label with a single-minded commitment to producing nothing less than the finest eyewear in the world.
Today the brand is sold in 48 countries. The frames are still made entirely by hand in Japan. And the philosophy hasn’t changed one bit.
As an authorized Barton Perreira dealer, at Konstantin Vision, we carry Barton Perreira eyewear at our NYC showroom — and these are frames that consistently stop people in their tracks.
Barton Perreira occupies a specific place in luxury eyewear: understated, deeply considered, and impossible to mistake for anything else. There are no loud logos, no seasonal trend-chasing. Just beautifully engineered frames that reward the people who take the time to look closely.
Whether you’re drawn to their clean optical silhouettes or their richly detailed sunglasses — including the iconic 007 Legacy collection — our licensed opticians will guide you through the full range and help you find the pair that fits your face and your life.
No pressure. No rush. Just the right frame.
A single pair of Barton Perreira frames takes weeks to produce.
Every frame is handcrafted in Japan by the country’s leading optical artisans — people for whom precision isn’t a selling point, it’s a way of working. Patty Perreira has described eyewear design as closer to architecture and engineering than to fashion: making something look good is relatively easy, but making it feel right on a face is extraordinarily difficult. Even a quarter of a millimeter makes a difference.
That obsession with fit and feel is built into every stage of production. Hinges are engineered to exacting tolerances. Acetate is chosen for depth of color and surface quality. Temple tips are shaped and finished by hand. The result is a frame that you understand the moment you pick it up — before it’s even on your face.
As Bill Barton puts it simply: “One touch, and you instantly get it.”
Barton Perreira’s design language is defined by what it doesn’t do.
There are no oversized logos. No aggressive branding. No attempt to shout over the noise of the eyewear market. Patty Perreira’s design philosophy — shaped by years working across Prada, Miu Miu, Oliver Peoples, and Vera Wang — is rooted in a pure, less-is-more aesthetic that lets the craftsmanship speak for itself.
Her inspiration comes from jewelry, architecture, nature, art, and music. It comes, as she says, “from my core. From my soul.” That soulfulness shows in the details: in the way a temple curves, in the quality of a hinge, in the considered proportions of a front profile that flatters without overpowering.
At Konstantin Vision, Barton Perreira sits alongside the world’s finest eyewear brands — because it belongs there. Our team will help you experience the difference that genuine handcraft makes, backed by over 25 years of optical expertise in New York City.
