AndréOpticas 30 years Birthday Party Video

At André Opticas, we sell glasses for people from another world, so what better way to celebrate 30 years of existence than with a dress that’s out of this world?

André Opticas presented the challenge, and João Rolo brought the project to life: an extravagant dress made with 8.5 metres of moiré fabric, featuring over 300 glasses and around 250 temples in shades of brown, red, and burgundy. A one-of-a-kind haute couture piece, now on display at André Opticas on Avenida da Liberdade in Lisbon.

Here, visitors can admire this masterpiece signed by João Rolo and also discover exclusive, luxurious eyewear brands. From authentic vintage relics—many crafted over 50 years ago—to international, commercial, and alternative labels, André Opticas offers a unique experience in high-end eyewear.

André Opticas Celebrates its 30th Anniversary with a Dress Made of Glasses

 

Founded in 1981, André Opticas is about to celebrate its 30th anniversary. An age that reflects the company’s maturity but, at the same time, seems like a short history for the many chapters already lived.

The brand’s DNA is clearly defined, as demonstrated by its journey. From pioneering initiatives such as limited edition collaborations with various artists, to being the first optical store in the country—and one of the few in Europe—with bespoke services for the most demanding clients, offering fully customized eyewear, to representing luxury brands that are often only available in around 20 stores worldwide.

With the opening of its flagship store on Avenida da Liberdade, André Opticas is a tribute to the world of high-end eyewear. With a collection of vintage pieces dating back to the 1920s, you can find a wide variety of items in its archives. To mark the occasion, on the day of the 30th anniversary, we will launch the first haute-couture dress made of glasses, in collaboration with the fashion designer João Rôlo.

BEAUTIFUL!!! We couldn’t have celebrated our 30th anniversary any better! The party was amazing! The dress was BRUTAL! The DJ – MONOSALTY – was, as always, super slick…
Great people and a project that had been in the works for a long time, finally brought to life by the hands of our dear friend, haute couturier João Rôlo.

André Leal and Mr. Larry Leigh – Mr. Oliver Peoples!!!

As always, it’s a pleasure to see him again and exchange a few ideas! After all, it’s not every day that we talk
about our passions with one of the most influential eyewear designers of all time…
He is also a wave enthusiast and a fan of dolce fare niente…
A success story like few others, of a man who has always followed a very individual path, never yielding
to the pressures of trends and fads.
Our type of mind…

Special Edition Legendary Tigerman X André Opticas

The Femina collection is the first of its kind. Eyewear intentionally crafted for the taste of a showman, with a numbering from 1/10 to 10/10, featuring fronts made from vinyl records and temples with vintage film strips personally selected by Paulo Furtado, aka Legendary Tiger Man.

The one-man band now has a collection of eyewear for fans who follow his journey. With only 20 pieces in the world, the glasses come in cases made from the artist’s own Tiger single, signed by him. Check out the photos from the Coliseums, starting with the old ones and ending with the new ones.

Enjoy because it’s unique.
