Ogi Eyewear

Ogi Eyewear ::

OGI Eyewear is an independent American eyewear brand founded in 1997 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, by David Spencer, who previously owned a small optical shop called Specs. When his customers continually requested finely-crafted, affordable, and functional eyewear with more personality, Spencer launched OGI to fill that void in the marketplace. What began as a boutique optical design company with just 15 frame designs has grown into a worldwide leader in premium fashion eyewear. The company consistently releases new handcrafted collections that emphasize innovation, originality, quality, and value. 

OGI is best known for its bold use of color and playful, creative designs with meticulous attention to detail. Spencer's signature approach involves using vibrant colors strategically—a tortoise frame might feature lime green on the interior temples, or gunmetal fronts paired with hot pink accents. The brand's collections blend refined shapes with unexpected pops of color that set them apart, while remaining classic enough to avoid being overly trendy. With whimsical frame names like "Dilly Dally," "By Golly," and "Twin Cities" (a nod to their Minneapolis roots), OGI brings a uniquely Minnesotan sensibility of warmth, creativity, and community to the eyewear industry.
