Brand Story
Founded in the late Qing Dynasty or early Republic of China era, the exact year remains unverified. Legend has it that the founder, whose name is yet to be confirmed, opened a small shop near the Bell Tower in Xi'an, starting with hand-ground lenses. At that time, Western eyewear was newly introduced and unfamiliar to the Chinese public. Xibei Glasses was among the first to adopt advanced equipment while integrating traditional craftsmanship, gradually earning a stellar reputation. During the Republican period, it became a leading eyewear maker in Northwest China, serving military and political figures and cultural celebrities. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the brand underwent public-private partnership and continued to serve the public. Known for meticulous lens grinding and comfortable frame adjustments, Xibei Glasses has witnessed the evolution of China's eyewear industry from manual to mechanized production, embodying the commercial heritage of Shaanxi. Though its founding year is not officially documented, its profound history makes it a living fossil of the eyewear trade in the Northwest.
