Paul Smith PS-3003 vintage sunglasses
Paul Smith is a British designer known for his distinctive blend of classic and quirky styles, he founded his fashion label in 1970. His approach to fashion brought a unique twist to traditional British tailoring, mixing in playful details, vibrant colors, and subtle eccentricity. This signature style carried over when the brand expanded into eyewear.
Paul Smith first ventured into eyewear in the early 1990s, collaborating with the Japanese eyewear manufacturer Mitsui Optical. This partnership led to the production of high-quality frames in Japan, known for their precision craftsmanship and attention to detail. These early collections reflected the brand’s playful yet refined aesthetic, combining timeless silhouettes with unexpected flourishes, such as colorful accents and distinctive design elements.
In 2015, the Paul Smith eyewear line was sold to Oliver Peoples, a subsidiary of Luxottica. With this acquisition, production shifted from Japan to Italy.

Our glasses come with detailed measurements in the product description.
The key measurement is the frame width, which is the distance from the inside of the right temple to the inside of the left temple. To ensure a perfect fit width-wise, we recommend measuring an existing frame that fits you comfortably, providing a valuable reference. For minor size concerns like nosepads and temple lengths, an optician can make adjustments.
