Modern Legacy Eyewear (MLE) is based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada and focused on limited-edition, micro-produced, Canadian-created eyewear and optical products which celebrate the past with eyes on the future.

Drawing on decades of experience in opticianry and extensive design backgrounds that include interior and furniture design, MLE is a producer of historical product references and modern desires. Canadian, artisanal, handmade craftsmanship combined with sophisticated expressions of style and versatility, result in this powerful collection of eyewear. 

All of our frames are carefully conceptualized in Canada, using biodegradable, recycled and vintage acetates.
