Independent First

  • At LA-PA, we believe you can have accessible eyewear without compromising on quality and style. As an independent eyewear brand based in Los Angeles, California, we dream big but operate small and are able to offer our customers the most exceptionally high-quality, premium materials, and elevated designs at an
    outstanding value.

An Eye for Design

  • As product enthusiasts, quality
    and design are at the heart of everything we do. With decades of experience
    creating eyewear for some of the biggest luxury fashion houses in the world, we
    have taken our in-depth knowledge for designing best-selling frames and
    translated it into each and every last detail of our premium eyewear
    collection. With craftsmanship at the core of LA-PA, each pair of frames boasts
    authentic shapes, superior materials and exclusive design elements.

Architecturally Inspired

  • LA-PA is a celebration of
    international style, inspired by the architecture of the world’s most iconic
    cities. From Los Angeles to Rio de Janeiro, our eyewear draws inspiration from
    the DNA of these landscapes that have been shaped by generations of rich
    culture and history. Blending clean, geometric lines with the vibrant pulse of
    these cities, each frame exudes a modern sophistication with a cosmopolitan
    spirit.
