Paul Smith eyewear is recognized for combining classic British elegance with modern creative details. Known for refined silhouettes, premium materials, and meticulous craftsmanship, the brand has built a strong reputation in the eyewear industry. Inspired by the iconic Artist Stripe motif and produced with precision in Italy, each frame reflects a balance of timeless style and contemporary character.
Paul Smith launched his brand in 1970 from a tiny 3×3-meter shop in Nottingham, England, driven by a love of simplicity, tradition, and the classics — combined with an instinct for surprising them. That philosophy — classic with a twist — has defined the brand for over 50 years and remains the DNA of every Paul Smith eyewear collection.
The eyewear frames bear the names of iconic London streets, a quiet homage to the brand’s British roots. The acetate carries the signature Artist Stripe — multicolored, instantly recognizable, and as much a design statement as any silhouette. The shapes draw from tailoring: precise, balanced, and built to be worn by anyone from their twenties to their sixties without apology.
Today, Paul Smith is Britain’s leading independent design company, with 130 stores across more than 60 countries. The eyewear collection is crafted in Italy with premium acetate and meticulous attention to detail — and it reflects everything the brand has always stood for: creative, distinctive, and surprisingly easy to wear.
As an authorized Paul Smith dealer, at Konstantin Vision, we carry Paul Smith eyewear at our NYC showroom — and they bring something to the collection that very few brands can match: genuine wearability combined with genuine personality.
Paul Smith frames are for people who want their eyewear to say something without shouting. The Artist Stripe profiles, the contrasting acetate laminates, the bold but considered color palettes — these are details that reveal themselves gradually, rewarding the people who look closely. From the street, they read as polished and sophisticated. Up close, they are full of character.
The SS25 collection continues this tradition with precision: the Macleod sunglass in multi-stripe premium acetate and the unisex Meade optical in tailoring-inspired colorways demonstrate the same balance of modernity and versatility that has defined Paul Smith eyewear across every season.
Our licensed opticians will guide you through the full Paul Smith collection and help you find the frame that fits your face and your style — backed by over 25 years of optical expertise in New York City.
Paul Smith eyewear has a signature that is impossible to mistake — and a following that reflects it.
The Artist Stripe is the most recognized element: a multicolored band of acetate running through temples, profiles, or across entire fronts, borrowing from the same color language that has appeared across Paul Smith clothing, accessories, and interiors for decades. It is bold without being aggressive — a detail that adds personality to a frame without overwhelming the face wearing it.
Frames are named after London streets — a design choice that is both a nod to British heritage and a quiet statement about the brand’s character: rooted in place, specific in reference, and proud of where it comes from.
Paul Smith’s reputation as Britain’s premier independent designer has attracted a global following across fashion, music, and culture. His collections have been worn by figures across every creative field — from rock musicians to architects, from artists to executives — because the brand’s “classic with a twist” philosophy has the rare quality of appealing to people with completely different styles.
The eyewear collection reflects that breadth: available in shapes and colorways that span understated sophistication through expressive boldness, designed to be genuinely wearable by anyone at any point in their lives.
