ABOUT VINTAGE FRAMES COMPANY

Vintage Frames Company (VFC) is home to the world’s largest archive of deadstock vintage eyewear - over 2 million unique frames sourced by CEO and Founder Corey Shapiro. Since 2008, VFC has been the go-to for stylists, artists, and tastemakers, with frames featured in magazine shoots, films, red carpets, and global tours. In 2018 we launched our own line, inspired by the archive and shaped by modern culture - designed to stand out, not blend in.

What started as a flagship store in Montreal is now a global brand carried in over 150 top retailers worldwide, including Kith, Holt Renfrew, Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, HBX, Complex, Farfetch, CNCPTS, and BSTN. We operate one of the largest vintage eyewear eCommerce platforms and, since 2022, a U.S. flagship on Miami Beach. WHAT YOU'LL OWN
