Zaveri Privé was “born through an inimitable passion for style and prestige,” says founder Bijoy Zaveri who sourced and curated every piece of its 25,000 luxury collection throughout his many travels. “Each piece has a story to tell,” he adds. A passion turned into a business, Bijoy’s fascination for eyewear started at a very young age with his grandfather’s collection of vintage frames. “Personal style in eyewear is more than just a fit to a person’s face, but rather about finding a fit to one’s personality,” he says. Zaveri Privé aspires to give their clients an opportunity to express their “unique and individual style.” The collection houses luxury brands such as Dior, YSL, Chloe, Alain Mikli and Cazal for men and women, in a range of shapes including Round Windsor, Cat Eye and Oversized. Pieces have been spotted on celebrities such as Brad Pitt, Kanye West, Beyonce, Lady Gaga and Jay Z amongs others. Our favorites include the cool Bugatti Teardrop Aviators for racing and the vintage Yves Saint Laurent oversize cat-eye glasses from the 1980s.
