Undeniably
Exclusive
A higher standard of eyewear.
Not found everywhere.
We travel the world searching for designers worth discovering, curating a collective of independent houses distinguished by craftsmanship, originality, and an uncompromising point of view.
IEC is not a distributor.
It is a curator.
Originality.
Craftsmanship.
Manufacturing integrity.
A perspective that cannot be found everywhere.
The ability to resonate within the nation's most discerning optical practices.
We don't choose collections because they're distinctive.
We choose them because they're distinctive and capable of succeeding.
For founder Wade Myers, eyewear is more than a profession.
It's a family legacy.
A third-generation optical professional, Wade's introduction to the industry began in his family's full-service laboratory, operating surfacing and finishing equipment and learning the craftsmanship behind exceptional eyewear. Over the past 20 years, he has served eye care professionals through sales, management, recruiting, and training.
Raised among optometrists and opticians, with a grandfather, father, and uncle in optometry and a mother who built her career as an optician, he developed an early appreciation for quality, originality, and manufacturing excellence.
Today, that perspective guides every collection selected for the International Eyewear Collective.
THE VISIONARIES
The designers we represent are inventors, colorists, and multi-generational artisans. From family-owned workshops to pioneering manufacturers, each brings decades of expertise, technical mastery, and an unwavering pursuit of excellence.
THE COLLECTIONS
Screwless hinge patents. Proprietary processes. Uncommon materials. Technical innovation. Every collection reflects a deliberate approach to design and manufacturing, resulting in eyewear with substance, character, and a story worth sharing.
THE PARTNERSHIP
Exceptional collections deserve exceptional representation. We help practices build assortments that reflect their identity, elevate their positioning, and inspire the compliments, conversations, and referrals that follow exceptional eyewear.
Meet the designers driving the future of eyewear
Rather than representing a single design philosophy, IEC curates a portfolio of complementary international eyewear collections. The result is a balanced assortment spanning multiple materials, aesthetics, and wholesale price points, allowing practices to build a dispensary that feels intentional, differentiated, and uniquely their own.
Faboor
Where aerospace alloy becomes sculpture.
Faboor approaches eyewear through the lens of engineering. Crafted from ERGAL, an aerospace-grade alloy that is 30% lighter than titanium and nearly twice as strong as standard aluminum, the collection transforms technical innovation into bold, sculptural forms inspired by Italian Futurism. Every frame is designed, machined, anodized, and finished in-house. Through a proprietary anodization process, color becomes part of the metal itself, creating exceptional depth, durability, and longevity.
Clément
Frames for people who notice hardware.
Clément was born from a desire to create a different kind of eyewear, one shaped by the perspective of opticians rather than marketers. Inspired by architecture and modern design, the collection is known for its clean lines, thoughtful construction, and distinctive material combinations.
Paname
Color used as a statement, not a garnish.
Created by three friends driven by a desire for creative freedom, Paname is defined by expressive color, bold silhouettes, and an unwavering commitment to individuality. The collection embraces the unexpected, pairing daring combinations with thoughtful design to create eyewear that is impossible to ignore.
Tarian
Exceptional comfort. Unmistakable presence.
Born in a Parisian atelier by Jérémy Miklitarian, Tarian approaches eyewear with an uncompromising focus on comfort, precision, and materiality. Each frame is brought to life by Italian craftsmen and produced in numbered editions of just 500 pieces. At the core of the collection is AXIS, Tarian's patented screwless flex hinge, engineered to move naturally with the face for exceptional all-day comfort.
Dekoptica
Acetate designed for today’s timeless style.
Built on three generations of optical expertise, Dekoptica combines family-owned independence with fully integrated manufacturing. Specializing in acetate eyewear, the collection is milled and produced in-house, allowing complete control over color, design, and craftsmanship. The result is contemporary eyewear distinguished by refined details, exceptional quality, and a signature point of view.
Reserve
Contemporary metals. Expanded sizing.
Reserve brings more than two decades of optical expertise to a collection defined by contemporary design and exceptional fit. Designed in the Czech Republic, the collection spans lightweight titanium, modern metal styles, and an extensive range of sizes for both men and women. Timeless styling, dependable comfort, and thoughtful sizing make it a collection with enduring appeal.
