Michael Lim - Oscar Wylee Eyewear
The idea behind Oscar Wylee was simple: to provide high-quality, affordable eyeglasses with a vintage feel. We’re not doing anything too complicated – just cutting out the middleman – giving you the same glasses direct from the factory, minus the price tag.
And it’s going pretty well, we’ve just moved into a real office. It was fun being a garage brand but, as this is being written on a stairwell, it was definitely time for a change. Don’t worry, it’s good for you too, now we’ve got a permanent showroom so you can come and see our frames, and us, in person!
We’re John and Mike by the way, two guys with a complementary skill-set: Mike wears glasses and, well, John had a free garage.
There’s another simple vision we have that you might not be aware of: for every pair of glasses you buy from us, we send another pair to someone less fortunate. That’s I CARE, and while we just hope you love our frames it’s nice to give others something to look forward to.
