José Castellanos and Elena Orestano, the couple behind Dr. York Spectacle Maker, are a match made in heaven in the realm of both love and business. Born out of a determination to unite José and Elena's passion for independent eyewear brands and working together, the couple's first store was opened in the famous, bohemian Roma neighborhood in Mexico City. The newest Dr. York location was recently opened in Los Angeles, a city that José and Elena believe stands at the threshold of cutting edge eyewear.
Dr. York differs from other optical stores in that it only carries independent brands that are carefully chosen from international designers whose unique designs are not available elsewhere. The store offers a rare, vintage collection that includes glasses ranging from '50s Ray Bans to '80s Christian Dior sunnies. Designers featured within the store include Caroline Abram, PQ Eyewear, Whiteout & Glare, Res Rei, Blue Magic Eye, Finest Seven, Oscar Magnuson, LGR Luca Gnhecchi Ruscone, and Moscot, all of which have been chosen based on unique designs, high attention to detail, and elevated craftsmanship. Whether looking for the perfect accessory for the bridal party of a beachy wedding or a chic way to protect your eyes on your honeymoon, Dr. York Spectacle Maker has a pair of sunglasses that are a perfect fit for you.
Dr. York's Los Angeles store is located at 8302 West 3rd Street Los Angeles, California; for more information, call (310) 857-6797.
