Brand History

Saks Fifth Avenue was the brainchild of Horace Saks and Bernard Gimbel, who operated independent retail stores on New York's 34th Street at Herald Square in the early 1900s.

Their dream was to construct a unique specialty store that would become synonymous with fashionable, gracious living, and the first Saks Fifth Avenue store was opened in 1924. Saks Fifth Avenue today is renowned for its superlative selling services and merchandise offerings. The best of European and American designers for men and women are sold throughout its 57 stores servicing customers in 25 states.

The Eyewear Collection Designed for the elegant and sophisticated woman, the Saks Fifth Avenue collection includes ophthalmic and sunwear styles. Frames are available in a variety of shapes and colors, designed to compliment many face shapes and complexions. Many styles feature ornate temple treatments using stones, pearls, and hand-carved designs.
