We’re lucky that Corey Shapiro decided set up his retail vintage eyeglass business  right here in Montreal. In St-Henri, we have the only retail store site for his frames, called L’Archive.

Shapiro, a Montrealer, studied at LaSalle College, then went off to try to sell sneakers. He realized that fashion eyeglasses didn’t need sizes, so it was much easier to find customers; He started an online store selling rare, deadstock glasses frames. Lady Gaga, Diddy and Katy Perry are amongst the more famous who have purchased his retro frames.

Selling at $100-$500, these frames are statement glasses and are meant to fit your personality rather than your face.
