Article One

Article One exists to create heirloom eyewear that becomes part of your story. Article One is an independent eyewear company based in Flint, Michigan. We produce handcrafted eyewear in Italy with complete brand transparency and a spotlight on the hands that craft our frames. We are proponents of supporting independent optical, giving back to our community, and thoughtful design. Our frames are handmade in a small village in Northern Italy at the base of the Dolomites. The family-owned factories we work with are experts at what they do. We work to give credit where credit is due by shining a light on the hands that touch each frame. The care put into AO eyewear results in quality you can feel. You can learn more about the family-owned factories we've partnered with through our short film, A Labor of Love.  We don’t believe in throwaway culture as much as we don’t believe in throwaway moments. Everything we do, every way we connect, and everything we consume can all be part of something bigger. Though they might just be glasses, they’re what we mean when we look forward. Article One For where you're going.
