Where Vision Meets Decadence If eyes are the windows to the soul, then Franco's Luxuriator eyewear is the ritzy, diamond-encrusted curtain that has your soul saying, "Ooh la la." This isn't just eyewear; it's eye-jewelry. You'll be paving the streets with pave diamonds every time you blink. Seriously, who needs a blingy necklace when you've got a Luxuriator on your face? Putting on a pair of these is like having a VIP party on your nose. Every glance is an invitation to an exclusive shindig where the lenses are so advanced, they might as well have PhDs in Looking Good. These specs don't just block UV rays; they block pedestrian eyewear from entering the high-fashion sphere. Forget top of the line--Franco is the line that tops dare not pass. So, if you're ready to upgrade your peepers with more carats than the Easter Bunny's snack drawer, look no further than the Luxuriator Collection. Just be prepared for your eyes to live a more luxurious life than the rest of you. read more

I am so disappointed to write this but others should beware. I have waited 2 months last year and over a month this year to get my glasses after paying in full. Paying in full here is an average of about $3500 or more/pair. This time i called Franco and explained I couldn't see out of my glasses and needed some quickly. he said, "If you order tonight, honey, you'll have them in two weeks". So I did. Its been a month. No glasses. When I call there aren't any employees anymore. And Franco starts yelling at me and saying "Fuck you" and hanging up on me. read more

It all started with a pair of thick black frames Oprah was wearing that I knew I had to have. While looking found a picture of Oprah and Franco, she was wearing a pair of his frames that were to die for ( At least for me). I kept checking out the frames until it was time to order. As you can see I am wearing my glasses that I ordered from Maria and Franco. They were mailed to my small town in Oklahoma, I got them in time to celebrate my 59 which is today. I am one happy ER Nurse. To the gentleman that made the negative comments about the customer service.... I could not have asked for better bar none. The best customer service ever. Thank you again Maria and Franco!!!! read more

See all

Franco has gone out of his way to keep my wife memory alive and has gone out of his way to help me and my family

As a collector, I buy glasses all over the world. I collect both vintage and modern. I think Franco has the most interesting and creative glasses i have ever found anywhere. He also does a perfect job with the lenses. Even with the smallest frames, he managed my graduated prescription perfectly. Highy recommended. Riki Shaw read more

Like a walking talking billboard of the worst tendencies you might suspect to discover in a Beverly Hills small boutique owner, Franco verges on caricature. If circumstances were different, I wouldn't have stepped foot in the place. As it stood, I was the top bidder at a charity auction on a $1000 gift certificate to Luxuriator (I needed a new pair of glasses, and didn't know about Franco's reputation at the time), so I was compelled to pay a visit to meet Franco...if I could find the guy. After calling the night prior to insure the boutique would indeed be open the next day ("Yeah, yeah, just stop by), I'd came by two Saturdays in a row and found the door locked. I called the number posted on the door, and got an answering machine. I spent a good 2 hours and walked around the block, ate lunch at Bouchon across the street, purchased a few bottles from the wine shop next door, and checked back to find the door still locked. The next week, I stopped by and left after seeing the store was again closed. Finally, a third trip to Beverly Hills and....door locked again. I called, but Franco picked up this time. He was across the street about to order lunch, but he staved off his hunger long enough to come back and assist me. Franco strolled over and unlocked the door, and my sister (who was the 2nd bidder at the auction to win her own $1000 certificate) said she hoped that we hadn't spoiled his lunch, to which he responded, "You did." I mentioned that I'd been to the shop two times previously trying to use my certificate, and he simply said, "That's nice." Frankly, I thought he was humorous in the idiom of "I furnish the rich and can get away with anything, now bask in my sarcastic wit and adore me." I liked him. Franco is many things, and instantly-likeable-even-though-you-know-better is certainly near the top of that list. He's also a stylish gentleman, although his taste-level came into sharp focus after looking around the boutique a bit. There were certainly tasteful and obviously high-quality frames around, but they were sharing display cases with pairs of what I would term "novelty" sunglasses. There were those plastic, similar to the venetian-shade-style sunglasses Kanye and Amber Rose seemed to be fetishizing a few years ago. But these ones had slits on the top and bottom of the frame, and a big plastic bar right where your eyes go. Created for people with exceptional peripheral vision perhaps? And then I spy a patriotic pair; the sunglasses being composed of a large piece of glass intricately carved into the shape of the mainland United States with two wire arms attached to either side. Your nose should be where Texas is, but I suppose that was an afterthought. Discouraged, I finally came across an amazing pair of DITAs and asked to try them on. Franco let me, even though he much prefers to whisk about the store and tell the customer what looks good and what they should buy. I loved the frames, and Franco seemed to concede they worked well on me (well, after he initially remarked that I looked like a Cold War-era physics teacher or something like that). Most of this time, Franco had been assisting my sister and her gf, who were both hoping to get a pair of frames out of their certificate. Turns out they couldn't even get one. Look, I like quality things, and I admit to having been afflicted with a sunglass addiction. I've bought my DITAs and my Celines and my Tom Fords and my Linda Farrows and my SALTs and my Oliver Peoples. I know that shit is pricey, and was not expecting anything less at Luxuriator. I was NOT expecting such a significant mark up on his eponymous frames, and his stunningly overpriced and frankly insulting pricing structure for those little pieces of glass called lenses. My sis ended up with one pair for her girlfriend, after shelling out another $400 in addition to her $1000 certificate. Now, I wasn't yet certain if he always charges that amount for his glasses and lenses, but I was beginning to suspect the price inflation was due to the fact that we had our certificates and were trying to actually use them. Knowing full well how much a pair of DITA frames usually costs, I was curious to see what my bottom line would be. $1600. For a pair of DITA frames fitted not with prescription lenses, but simple Sunglass lenses. I asked how it could cost so much, and he said, "Well, they're polarized!" I don't know what strange mix of disbelief, anger, and pure shock registered on my face upon hearing such utter bullshit, but he said he'd take $100 off and give me non-polarized. I'd had enough. I told him I'd just take the frames, and we could call it even. He protested and then threw the frames into a non-DITA case, and finally handed them over. I took them to my favorite ladies at OPTIQUE by C&C, who did a fantastic job putting prescription sunglass lenses in, AND gave me a proper DITA case gratis. Added bonus: hanging with Cynthia and Christine doesn't make your skin crawl! read more

I have known Franco for 22 years...he made all of my mother's glasses and my first pair in 1996! The extremely articulate "bad" review below is not shocking but rather laughable. Clearly, the reviewer did not know Franco and could never understand his sarcastic humor. Franco designs his own line and he is a creative genius for sure...he has treated my husband and me like family in many ways. When a pair of his frames broke (which I have had for about 4 years) he offered to make me a new pair at no cost. He is a very kind man and has made my family at least 20 pairs of glasses over the years and Franco has always stood behind his work. I have met some very interesting people at his shop and everyone is truly appreciative of Franco's work and his one of kind designs. Take the negative review with a grain of salt and make sure to call ahead if you're coming from a distance away. Franco met us on a Sunday to fit our newest frames and his shop is open late to accommodate everyone!!! Love that man!! read more

Franco is nothing short of genius when it comes to finding the most unique, versatile, and stylish lenses fitted for your face. Don't know how he does it, but his lenses are quite a bit lighter than other shops. Thus, even if you have a heavy prescription like I do, the glasses are still light and easy to manage. He is equally great if not better when it comes to picking sunglasses for you and then manufacturing Colored Lenses for Sunglasses. Franco has the newest styles plus a few Vintage Pairs peppered in with his own. Truly beautiful stuff. Franco's service is always hands on, he will always find time for you, his stuff is beautiful and one a kind; however, to put it flatly, Franco aint' cheap. But when it comes to something you are literally placing on your face everyday, it sometimes feels good to know you still look the best you can. Personally, I get compliments on items I get from Franco endlessly, and since I can't really adjust to Contacts using Luxuriator by Franco as my secret weapon when it comes to eyewear turns a negative into a positive. read more
