Since its 1983 founding in Los Angeles, Dakota Smith has been the hallmark of “American Independent” eyewear. Known for blending clean, modern fronts with vintage decor elements, the brand is celebrated by innovators and trendsetters. Many Dakota Smith frames feature the patented German PIVOFLEX™ screwless hinge system and ultralight flexible titanium. Because these frames utilize high-tech, precision engineering rather than traditional screws, they require specialized technical handling to maintain their unique flexibility and “universal fit” comfort.

Start with a free quote. Most Dakota Smith repairs are completed the same day by technicians who specialize in screwless hinge technology and advanced Japanese titanium alloys.

Vintage Decor Preservation – Careful restoration of the iconographic elements and “American Eagle” logos that define the brand’s heritage.
Flexible Temple Alignment – Precision recalibration of PIVOFLEX™ metal temples to ensure they fit different face shapes without losing their “slingshot” flexibility.
