Vintage Alain Mikli Eyewear

One of the true legends of eyewear design, Mikli claims his love of colour and diverse frame shapes were inspired by his Lebanese-Armenian heritage. Since 1978, Alain Mikli has built his own successful brand as well as being the head designer of eyewear for Issey Miyake and Jil Sander. All the hard work led to a stunning back catalogue of the vintage Alain Mikli eyewear.

Get a pair of vintage Mikli’s on your face and you can’t help but fall in love. The attention to detail in their design is evident, even to novice eyewear collectors, from the beautiful coloured acetates to the juxtapositions of shapes to create playful eyewear guaranteed to put a smile on your face.

It is hard to think of a vintage eyewear designer who has had more influence on the industry than Mikli. Owning a pair of vintage Alain Mikli frames is a luxury most people will never have the joy of experiencing. Hand made in Paris, vintage Mikli sunglasses and glasses frames were produced to Alain’s exact standards and no compromises were made in the manufacturing process. Which is why all of the vintage Mikli frames in our collection are in such incredible condition even after years in storage.
