Saint Laurent

Saint Laurent Eyewear

Spectacle Shoppe is an authorized Saint Laurent retailer. Discover bold, Paris-designed glasses and sunglasses built on more than six decades of house history, at any of our four Minnesota locations.

Saint Laurent was founded in Paris in 1961 by designer Yves Saint Laurent and his partner Pierre Bergé, debuting their first collection in January 1962. The house quickly became one of fashion’s most influential voices, introducing Le Smoking, a tuxedo suit for women, and launching Rive Gauche, one of the first true ready-to-wear lines. The now-iconic interlocking YSL monogram was designed in 1963 by graphic artist A.M. Cassandre and still anchors the house’s eyewear today.

Saint Laurent eyewear is designed and produced by Kering Eyewear, reworking archival codes into bold, contemporary shapes. Frames are built from acetate and metal in oversize pilot silhouettes, narrow rectangular shapes, and 90s-inspired double-bridge styles, finished with the house’s vintage logo, wirecore detailing, and a signature corner angle on the temple. Every pair is built for the same confident, tailored attitude the house has carried since the 1960s.

Spectacle Shoppe carries an evolving selection of Saint Laurent glasses and sunglasses, so Minnesotans have a place to try on the real thing, with expert opticians here to help you find the shape that fits your own point of view.

The Spectacle Shoppe Experience

More than just trying on glasses, it’s a personalized journey to finding your perfect fit and look.

Decades of Design Excellence

Saint Laurent eyewear draws on decades of house archives, oversize pilot shapes, vintage logos, 90s double bridges, and rebuilds them in bold, contemporary proportions.

Precision Construction

Frames combine acetate and metal with details like visible wirecore and a signature corner angle on the temple, built with the same tailored precision as the house’s ready-to-wear.

Premium In-House Lenses

Our expert lab crafts premium lenses on-site, ensuring perfect clarity and optimal vision tailored to your prescription.

On-Site Optometrist

Spectacle Shoppe features on-site optometrists, making it convenient to get a comprehensive eye examination and your prescription eyeglasses all in one visit.

Voted the Best Eyewear Shop by the readers of the Star Tribune for six years in a row!

I appreciated the help and excellent service I received from Anna. As a walk-in I didn't know whether they would repair my glasses and they did, with great results! I’m very happy and will return here for my next pair of glasses. Thank you!

I have never experienced such an amazing optometrist office before going to Spectacle Shoppe! The service and professionalism was perfect, the doctor was informative and nice! I was in and out faster than I expected and I got little treats at the end :) If you have medical anxiety like I do, this is the place for you! I look forward to coming back

I went in to have 2 sunglasses adjusted, both of which were purchased elsewhere. Jess was so incredibly helpful with adjusting them and providing suggestions on how I can ensure future sunglasses fit best when I buy them. I will certainly be utilizing this Spectacle Shoppe for all of my future sunglass needs! Thanks so much for a wonderful experience.
