HIGH QUALITY EYEWEAR
Detail Oriented
We are inspired by the many generations who paved the way for us, and that is why we look to our past for inspiration, and to help build upon our future. The Heritage brand reflects our passion and hard work. You can see the difference in every little detail in our design, down to the screw in each and every hinge. Erkers carefully makes high quality eyewear that is capable of lasting a lifetime.
QUALITY CONTROLS
Manufacturers
When it came to looking for the perfect factory to partner up with, making the highest quality for the lowest price with fast delivery times, it wasn't an easy task. We looked at 30+ factories before we found one in Korea, who in our opinion is the best run factory we have ever seen. Everything has its place and is very clean and neat, which is abnormal for most factories. Koreans as a culture, are very meticulous when it comes to quality control. Known for the best manufactures in the world, we have now grown to add a new Japanese factory, which is just as impressive.
