Andre Montana is the creative force behind Vintage Eyewear, known for his extraordinary blend of technical precision and poetic design. A former aerospace engineer, Andre brings a rare kind of mastery to his craft, one where every curve, every hinge, every material choice is governed by both function and feeling. His background gives him the eye of an engineer, but it’s his soul as an artist, and his heart as a human,  that makes his work unforgettable. 

“Mechanical design is my background. I was working for French and German companies. That foundation helps me now—because I don’t just sketch ideas. I know how to build them”, Andre says to Golf News. 

Creative from a young age, Andre was always drawn to beauty with meaning, to things made slowly, with care. His passion for vintage eyewear began with a gift from his grandfather and evolved into a lifelong mission: to protect the legacy of fine craftsmanship and return true quality to a market saturated with sameness. 

Those who meet Andre are struck not only by his obsessive dedication to detail, but by his kindness, authenticity, and warmth. He is quietly magnetic; deeply focused and thoughtful, yet endlessly generous with his knowledge and time. He listens closely, designs with reverence, and never cuts corners. His frames may be worn by global icons, but his intention is always personal: to create something lasting, something meaningful, for those who still seek beauty with depth, and true, lasting quality. 

With every design, Andre champions a philosophy of slow luxury, individuality, and integrity. And with his vision for building a future eyewear atelier in the UAE, he’s not just crafting frames, he’s crafting a legacy. Quickly gaining the attention of style icons and VIPs globally, his designs are in hot demand, and sold out regularly. With hundreds of designs in his arsenal, and more being created as his mind finds new ideas to express, there’s no shortage of new collections with which to grace our looks.
