One of the most original eyewear labels available today, Andy Wolf was founded in 2006 by 3 friends, Andreas (Andy), Wolfgang (Wolf) and Katharina in a meeting of the minds that accidentally transpired over a delicious farm-to-table dinner in Austria.

Their goal? To produce classic and contemporary frames for individuals in as personal, natural, and familiar a way as one might choose meat or fish from local meadows and waters, market-fresh vegetables from a community farmer, or good Austrian wine from a vintner you know personally.

It’s that philosophy that has informed the distinctive European craftsmanship and purity of process from Day One and of their project and it’s what continues to make Andy Wolf frames one of the most covetable eyewear It brands out there.
