Friedrichs Optik Washington Depot – Handcrafted Eyewear Near New York City

Less than two hours from Manhattan, Friedrichs Optik Washington Depot is a rare destination where visitors can experience luxury eyewear craftsmanship at its highest level. This boutique and atelier combines a curated retail space with a fully functioning manufacturing studio, allowing clients to witness the making of their eyewear behind a glass wall.

A Rare Glimpse Into True Craftsmanship

At our Washington Depot atelier, every frame is shaped and polished by hand. We produce our own buffalo horn plates in a wide range of natural colors and exclusive finishes – including horn combined with pure silk – and transform them into distinctive frames that are as individual as their wearer. We also specialize in custom acetate eyewear, tailored to the exact specifications and design preferences of each client.

Design Your Dream Frames or Explore Our Collection

Visitors may book a private appointment to design their one-of-a-kind buffalo horn, acetate, titanium, or 18k gold eyewear, selecting the materials, shapes, and details that best suit their personal style. Alternatively, they can choose from a curated collection of ready-to-wear designs, all handcrafted with the same meticulous attention to detail.

An Immersive Eyewear Experience

Friedrichs Optik Washington Depot offers something unmatched in the United States: the opportunity to watch master craftsmen create exceptional eyewear from start to finish, then leave with a pair designed specifically for you. Whether you invest $3,000, $10,000, or even $30,000+ in a fully customized buffalo horn masterpiece or choose one of our signature designs, the experience is entirely personal and unforgettable.

We invite you to schedule your private visit and discover Friedrichs Optik Washington Depot – where heritage, innovation, and artistry meet.
