Our Collections
Established in Saint Louis in 1879 and now proudly helmed by its fifth generation of family craftsmen, Erker’s 1879 is living American optical heritage. From photographing the St. Louis World's Fair to designing the legendary goggles worn by Charles Lindbergh on his solo flight across the Atlantic, the Erker family has provided over a century of optical precision and excellence. Each frame in the Erker's 1879 collection is handcrafted from biodegradable cellulose acetate, surgical-grade stainless steel, and titanium, with a gold emblem on the temple tip bearing the story behind the collection. Unmatched legacy and timeless design for our most discerning clients.
