Founded by optical pioneer, Richard Golden, SEE was Golden’s vision of the future of eyewear circa 1998. Sparked by the idea of creating a unique brand and frustrated by the high cost of licensing existing brands, Golden’s goal was to create a collection of high quality, leading edge eyewear at an affordable price so people could create a “wardrobe” of glasses. The creation of a boutique free of locked cases was an entirely new concept in optical retailing and had never been done. Golden wanted SEE to be a fun and inviting place for people to shop, a place where they could buy two to three pairs of compliment inducing glasses without paying an absurd price to have some designer’s name printed on the inside of the frame.
