Frequently
Asked.

We rescue forgotten sunglasses and eyeglasses from the lonely darkness of storage facilities around the world so they can find a new home in Revival — and eventually with you.

We source our frames from Japan, Austria, Germany, and France.

Looking for Yves Saint Laurent, Lanvin, Dior, or other designer brands? We've got you covered. Interested in steampunk sunnies, classic cat-eye frames, or Golden Girls-inspired specs? You've come to the right place.

We have a little bit of everything from the 1950s through the early 2000s — and each pair is as unique as you.

Absolutely. We created our shop around the concept of personalization. We'll help you create a distinct pair through custom prescriptions, tints, transitions, and more. The options are endless.

Pop into one of our three San Diego county shops — North Park, Bird Rock, or South Oceanside — and let us style you. Browse our collection of over 1,000 curated frames on your own, or let our team help you choose and customize the perfect pair.

You can also shop and configure your pair right here on our website using our Build Your Pair tool.

New old stock vintage describes items from another era that were never sold or worn — eyewear that's decades old but completely unworn, often with original tags and packaging.

You won't find a single replica, reproduction, or "retro" item at Revival. Every pair is true vintage, manufactured between the 1950s and early 2000s. We're the only deadstock vintage eyewear boutique in San Diego.

With new old stock vintage, you get the best of both worlds: authentic vintage frames that are also unworn and in mint condition. Vintage eyewear was crafted with quality materials and care that's unmatched in modern frames, especially at our price point.

Our products require no new resources to manufacture, so supporting Revival means supporting sustainability. By shopping vintage, you're bypassing fast fashion and choosing to live more sustainably.

You sure can. We're licensed opticians who can fill whatever prescription you need in our full-service lab. We also offer same-day service in many cases — you'll walk out with your prescription frames within minutes.

We'll happily work with you to submit for reimbursement with your insurance company. You can also use your HSA or FSA on Revival eyewear.
