Teddys is a California-born eyewear brand that blends timeless design with modern craftsmanship. Every frame is handcrafted in Japan by a century-old factory using custom -cured acetate and precious metal hardware.

Founded by designer Teddy, the brand is a reflection of his California roots and lifelong love of eyewear and art. As a 5th generation born & raised in Santa Barbara California, Teddy developed an early appreciation for form, color, and function. He studied landscape painting and street art in art school—obsessed with the visual world and the pieces people interact with every day.

That obsession crystalized on his vacation in Italy, where he discovered a pair of sunglasses in Lake Como that changed everything. In Rome, he met the developer behind the frames—sparking a mentorship that introduced him to the world of eyewear. From there, Teddy followed his curiosity to Japan, where he found a manufacturer that shared his vision for precision and artistry.

Eyewear became his chosen medium. Today, Teddys is for those who appreciate intentional design, value craftsmanship, and seek timeless pieces that outlast seasons. Designed for the in-between moments—when you want to feel like yourself, but a little sharper.
