Founded in 2013 by artist and entrepreneur Stirling Barrett, KREWE is an independent eyewear brand born from and inspired by the vibrant culture of New Orleans. The company channels the city's creative energy into handcrafted sunglasses and optical frames, establishing a distinct identity that celebrates individual style over overt branding. Each pair is designed in-house and constructed from premium materials like plant-based acetate and titanium, often featuring 24K gold-plated hardware. The brand's signature silhouette, the "St. Louis," with its unique brow bridge inspired by French Quarter ironwork, gained significant attention and has been worn by celebrities like Beyoncé.
