Founded by Ronnie Gache, Peninsula Eyewear is the realization of a lifelong dream sparked by years of immersion in the optical world. Ronnie's journey began within his family's high street opticians business, where his fascination with frame design and lenses took root and flourished. After dedicating countless hours to pondering ways to transform his passion into a tangible reality, Ronnie resolved to embark on his own entrepreneurial venture.

In June 2020, Ronnie made the bold decision to turn his vision into action by launching his own line of sunglasses. Unlike traditional opticians who retail brands manufactured by others, Ronnie aspired to create something truly unique—a brand that embodied his personal ethos and design philosophy.

Peninsula Eyewear was born from Ronnie's desire to offer an alternative to the exorbitant prices commonly associated with high-quality sunglasses. Recognizing that the eyewear industry is largely monopolized by a handful of corporate giants, Ronnie set out to challenge the status quo. He understood that by circumventing the traditional distribution model and establishing direct relationships with customers, he could disrupt the market and deliver premium products at a fraction of the cost.

At Peninsula Eyewear, we're proud to be at the forefront of this industry revolution. By prioritizing quality, innovation, and affordability, we're empowering consumers to make informed choices and access stylish eyewear without breaking the bank. Join us as we redefine the eyewear landscape, one pair of sunglasses at a time.
