What to know about ollie quinn
Ollie Quinn is a direct-to-consumer optical brand founded in London in 2013 by four friends, two of them Canadian, and rebranded under its own name in 2017. An in-house team led by French designer Sebastien Brusset develops acetate and metal frames in cat-eye, round and rectangular shapes, sold at flat, lens-inclusive prices alongside eye exams and Avulux migraine lenses. Its UK company entered administration in February 2024 and its business and assets were bought by OQ Eyewear Limited, which also licensed the Ollie Quinn name; Canadian boutiques carry the retail network.
