Uncompromising Independence
The Krewe Collection at Obsidian
Krewe Eyewear has steadily become one of our most beloved collections at Obsidian Exceptional Eyewear, consistently resonating with clients seeking something beyond mass-market sameness. Here is an inside look at why these New Orleans-born frames remain a bestselling staple for our discerning community in Pittsburgh.
The Spirit of the Big Easy
Krewe draws its creative energy from the Mardi Gras tradition of eclectic groups parading in celebration. This foundation keeps the brand grounded in the soulful rhythms of New Orleans, translating the city’s diverse and unexpected collaborations into unique, lasting silhouettes. Our clients consistently gravitate toward this independent attitude, favoring frames that serve as a bold declaration of personal style rather than just a utilitarian tool for vision correction.
Small-Batch Craftsmanship
The secret to Krewe’s enduring appeal at our Bethel Park boutique is their uncompromising material integrity. Frames are hand-carved from durable, eco-friendly plant-based acetates rather than traditional injection-molded plastics, ensuring a richer color profile and a much lighter footprint. This dedication is matched by the careful integration of premium metals, including gold and titanium hardware that provides everyday resilience. Every single piece undergoes a rigorous 100-point inspection system at their New Orleans headquarters to ensure optical perfection. They even back their craftsmanship with a generous “Second Chances” program, offering a replacement if you happen to damage your full-price frames.
The Obsidian Bestsellers
We constantly refresh our Krewe curation to keep up with local demand, but these core silhouettes continue to define the collection on our shelves.

Everyday Clarity: The Ophthalmic Collection
While Krewe is globally recognized for its standout sunwear, their optical collection brings that exact same New Orleans energy and uncompromising craftsmanship to your everyday prescription frames. Built with their signature small-batch philosophy, these ophthalmic styles utilize the same durable, hand-carved plant-based acetates and ultra-lightweight titanium to ensure comfortable, all-day wear. Beloved silhouettes like the St. Louis Optical translate their iconic metal-bridge architecture into a daily necessity, while optical-specific designs like the Riley, Simon, and Clara offer tailored, sophisticated profiles that never feel mass-produced. Because you wear your prescription lenses every single day, we believe those frames should be the most distinctive piece in your wardrobe. At Obsidian, our expert opticians are ready to pair Krewe’s unmatched independent aesthetic with the industry’s most advanced digital lenses for a truly bespoke visual experience.
