La LOOP was invented in 1999 - out of necessity. How many times can one look for ones glasses? And wearing those granny leashes—not an option. Why can’t something be functional and stylish and well made? That was the question and La LOOP is the answer. The magical hinges on either side of the loop enable the glasses to stay in place when in the loop.
Museum stores and specialty boutiques around the world like Le Bon Marche in Paris, Isetan in Tokyo, Selfridges and Harrods in London and Optical Shops of Aspen in America have recognized La LOOP as an invention - a chic and practical one.
La LOOPs have ended up on some of today’s biggest stars: Julia Roberts, Brad Pitt, and Demi Moore.
