Allen Edmonds doesn’t sell eyewear any more (at least, it’s not shown on their website). FramesDirect carries the “Randolph” line, though.
Roka glasses are NOT made in America. I ordered some frames with them thinking they were. The frames each say “Designed in USA” on the inside, and then in the least conspicuous place on the frame they say “PRC” for People’s Republic of China. Shame on Roka.
Thanks for letting us know! We took them off of the list.
nice information!!
Topology eyeglasses are made to order in San Francisco, CA.
Thank you! I added Topology to our list.
I did not know VisionWorks was a USA company. They are great! Thanks for a very useful list.
Roka is another company to add to your list. They’re made in Austin, TX.
Thanks for the tip. I added Roka to our list.
Are there any options for children’s sunglasses made in USA? I’m searching the Internet but haven’t found any yet.
I will be on the look out. I haven’t noticed any yet.
I had no idea there were this many sunglasses manufacturers in the U.S. I definitely like some of the ones shown here.
I was recently told that Costa sunglasses are made in the United States. Are they?
China
Why isn’t ArtCraft Optical on this list? They were the original metal frame manufacturer in the United States. They started in 1918 making all american metal frames for WW1 and have never stopped making frames for all branches of the US Military. They even invented the cool retro Clubman sunglass that everyone tries to copy. – Mike
I just recently had to start wearing glasses and so glad there’s so many options for places to buy them. Some are even local to me!
can you make a prototype clear lens pair that had a small sleeve to insert a small lazes light
May I also suggest Saint Rita Parlor? They make truly outstanding eyeglass/sunglass frames, and they do so in the United States.
I have bought from Visionwork and highly recommend them. They are reasonably priced and being USA made it is a huge plus. They have a nice variety too.
My son swears by Oakley sunglasses!
Oakley sunglasses are not made in USA necessarily anymore. When I looked it up it says in 2007 when luxottica bought them out, that they started to be manufactured in places all around the world. That tells me it’s China. It did not specifically say China, but because it wasn’t specific, it was a tell tale sign that China is definitely where they are produced. I will not spend $200 on a pair of sunglasses that were outsourced to China and made for pennies on the dollar.
Oakley are 100% China.
They used to be made in the US. Much higher quality than the glasses we get now from China. Also, warranty has become a joke, and no replacement parts. Oakley is gas station grade trash. Buy American and enjoy quality.
China
USA is China friends, they import a lot of China item, some of them cheat that made in USA but America say nothing about this, China make a lot of money by copy brand, in my country Rayban sunglasses sell only 2$,
These sunglasses look awesome.
Lowercase Glasses are made in NYC!

Hello Jill,
I have a sunglass brand called NarlyDude™ Sunglasses, I’ve been looking for a more local manufacturer. would you have any information on possible sunglass manufacturer that are based in the USA and are of good quality or higher to share?
Your response will be very appreciated and anxiously waited.
I like to research American Made for every purchase. China has gotten enough of our manufacturing, jobs, and are currentky buying American companies. This is criminal in my mind, and I’ll have nothing to do with it.
Europe is addicted to Russian oil. We are addicted to Chinese consumer goods. Time to decouple.
My Husband needs new sunglasses, thank you for posting this list.
