About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, an old man wearing a fedora and carrying a leather briefcase entered Oliver Peoples. He approached the counter and asked for a specific pair of glasses that no one had seen before. From then on, every Tuesday at exactly 9:30 AM, he would appear, never saying a word, just pointing to the same spot on the shelf. Finally, the owner decided to follow him one day. Turned out the old man was just a delivery driver who accidentally left his lunchbox with oversized glasses inside. Every week, he’d come back to retrieve it, never realizing everyone thought he was some mysterious customer. The owner discreetly returned the lunchbox each week, smiling to himself.
2. In the dimly lit hallway of Oliver Peoples, a small boy pointed excitedly at a pair of vintage glasses. ‘Mommy,’ he whispered, ‘look at those eyes staring back at us!’ A delivery driver, squinting through his new purchase, asked curiously, ‘Excuse me, can you see me now?’ The crowd burst into laughter as everyone agreed—those glasses did indeed make him look like an animated character from a classic cartoon.
3. While trying on glasses one afternoon, a customer exclaimed, ‘These frames make my nose look like Mount Rushmore!’ Another time, an elderly gentleman tried on a pair of aviator shades and declared, 'I feel like I'm flying over Los Angeles again!' His wife giggled and said, 'Only this time you're not chasing Humphrey Bogart.' The optician smiled, thinking it was worth every penny just to hear such delight.
4. At closing time, a delivery driver approached the locked door, only to hear a voice over the intercom: ‘Please leave your package with our invisible receptionist.’ The delivery driver shrugged and left the package on the pavement outside. Moments later, he heard a soft laugh from within the shop. Curious, he knocked gently on the window. A pair of familiar-looking glasses poked out, followed by an amused voice: 'Next time, just ring the bell!'
