The Story of Oscar

Oscar was designed as a tribute to Oscar Wilde—the Irish wit, playwright, and dandy who understood that style is not superficial, but a form of intelligence.

In Victorian and Edwardian eras, eyewear was the mark of the literate, the learned, the man of letters.Wilde famously said, 'You can never be overdressed or overeducated.' Oscar embodies this philosophy: refined without being fussy, sophisticated without being showy.

The classic rectangular silhouette features balanced proportions that suit most face shapes—not too bold, not too minimal, simply timeless.This is the frame for men who appreciate conversation over confrontation, wit over volume, substance over spectacle.

The aesthete, the writer, the man who knows that the right frame is like the right word—chosen with care, worn with confidence.Handcrafted in premium acetate with subtle detailing and comfortable temple arms. Available in classic black, warm tortoiseshell, and refined wood-effect finishes.
