A leading purveyor of luxury eyewear, Morgenthal Frederics was established in New York City in 1913 as Frederics Opticians. In 1986, Richard Morgenthal acquired the company and transformed it into Morgenthal Frederics. For more than a century, the brand has maintained an unwavering commitment to creating, curating, and caring for the world’s finest eyewear—for some of the most recognizable faces in the world. Every frame in the Morgenthal Frederics collection is a harmonious convergence of style, craftsmanship, and function.
Morgenthal Frederics is recognized for pioneering the use of natural buffalo horn in glasses, offering the first-ever luxury line of one-of-a-kind horn frames. Each heirloom-quality piece is handcrafted by artisans in Germany from ethically sourced horn that is only collected after an animal's natural life-cycle. Made by hand over hundreds of hours, these frames are meticulously carved, sculpted, and brought to life with only the finest specialty materials. In addition to their superlative design and manufacture, genuine horn frames are exceptionally lightweight and comfortable to wear, and an excellent choice for people with skin allergies.
Celebrating eyewear as the ultimate expression of individuality, Morgenthal Frederics prides itself on their commitment to quality, from sourcing materials to a bespoke approach to styling and fitting.
