Le Specs was originally established as a sunglasses only brand in 1979 on the shores of Australia’s Bondi Beach. However, over the years. Le Specs developed its reputation for providing sunglass lovers with iconic, innovative, and high-quality silhouettes but at an affordable price point. The evocative sunnies have been spotted on some of the most influential celebrities of the decade, including Beyonce, Rihanna, Gigi and Bella Hadid, Zayn Malik, and Justin Bieber. In keeping with its bold and timeless eyewear designs, Le Specs launched Le Specs Optical and expanded into the world of quality eyeglasses. With an array of different designs to suit every face and every gender, the brand continues to amass an international cult following and is a true trendsetter in the fashion market well beyond the land down under. Never shying away from the evocative, Le Specs has also released several collections with many acclaimed designers and artists, such as Adam Selman, Christian Cowan, House of Holland, and Jordan Askill.

All Le Specs Optical frames are designed with special hinges and components, making them unbreakable for when they are fitted. Designs for the optical collection are led by creative director Hamish Tame whose goal was to make the brand’s optical collection break all the style rules, because Le Specs have been the OG style rule breakers since day one. That said, designs for the optical collection are inspired by pivotal eras in fashion, looking to capture the essence of different style periods.
