Morgenthal Frederics- THE WORLDS FINEST EYEWEAR
"OUR STORY
For more than a century, Morgenthal Frederics has maintained an unwavering commitment to creating, curating, and caring for the world’s finest eyewear. The leader in the independent luxury space, we handcraft the highest quality frames and lenses available anywhere and choose partners that hold themselves to the same standards of excellence. Every heirloom-quality piece is distinctive in its design, exemplary in its craftsmanship. Made by hand over hundreds of hours, master artisans meticulously carve, sculpt, and press the frames to life using only the finest specialty materials. Morgenthal Frederics celebrates eyewear as the ultimate expression of individuality. This philosophy translates into a bespoke approach to styling and fitting at our 14 boutiques across the country.
ABOUT THE DESIGNER-JEFF PRESS Jeff Press began his career at Robert Marc NYC in 1996 before training under Richard Morgenthal, eventually becoming an optician in 2001.
