How We Began

Oscar Wylee has grown rapidly since it began as an online eCommerce business in 2012. After moving into retail, we have continued on this upward trajectory, providing an exciting range of products and exceptional eye care.

Launched our first eCommerce and digital platform, offering Australian customers high-quality fashion eyewear without the price tag.

The first showroom was located inside the 1875 historic building in the heart of Sydney, Australia. For the first time, Oscar Wylee introduced on-site optometrists to provide a complete optical service.

The first store opened in Chatswood NSW, created in the image of the Oscar Wylee style. The curved, wooden interior design references the Australian sandy coastlines to showcase our designer quality and on-trend eyewear.

We opened our first two New Zealand Oscar Wylee stores in Ponsonby and St Lukes.
