The Gilded Frame

About

The Gilded Frame Louisville Our mission is to redefine the optical experience by offering exceptional service, curated luxury eyewear, and personalized vision solutions. Driven by our passion for craftsmanship and style, we aim to empower individuals with eyewear that enhances their vision and reflects their unique identity, all while delivering an unparalleled customer experience. In a world driven by fast fashion and disposable goods we aim to bring people together by offering products that last a lifetime.

Rooted in heritage and shaped by modern design, The Gilded Frame redefines what an optical boutique can be. Inside our restored historic building in downtown Louisville, artistry and precision merge in a curated edit of the world’s most exceptional eyewear.

Co-founders Sarah and Kenny Montalbano bring more than two decades of experience in the luxury eyewear industry, having worked with some of the most respected brands and ateliers across the globe. Their shared history spans every facet of the trade, from design and sourcing to bespoke fittings and client care. That expertise informs every detail of The Gilded Frame.

Each appointment is a private, personalized experience guided by their devotion to craftsmanship and service. The result is something rare, timeless, and distinctly personal. Eyewear chosen not just to be worn, but to be treasured.
