Why we love

Maui Jim

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT

Maui Jim started in 1980 as a small company selling sunglasses on the beach in Lahaina, Hawaii. The company focuses on protecting your eyes with the most advanced polarised technology, which shields your eyes from glare and harmful UV while enhancing the world’s vibrant colours and intricate details.

WE LOVE MAUI JIM...

… because of the incredible feeling you get when you put on a pair of their beautifully crafted frames. Life is simply more vibrant with their polarised lenses that give you the finest and most vivid visual experience.

ProDesign

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT

Founded in Denmark in 1973 by a small group of opticians with more than 40 years’ experience in optics, ProDesign is devoted to creating frames that compliment and accentuate the wearer’s face. This is achieved with their innovative frame designs, attention to detail and always using the best material for the job.

WE LOVE PRODESIGN...

… because the sleek design allows the frames to fit to the face perfectly. We love the innovation that ProDesign bring to their frames, with beautiful colours and attention to detail.

Walter and Herbert

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT

From humble beginnings, over the last 70 years Walter & Herbert have grown to create beautiful eyewear designed, made and tested in England. Every frame boasts striking colour combinations of the best globally-sourced acetates. Smooth contours reminiscent of shapes from the 1940s make the frames irresistibly tactile.

WE LOVE WALTER & HERBERT...

… because of the exquisite craftsmanship of their glasses and sunglasses, thoughtfully designed and made in England. Walter & Herbert are all about attention to detail, and we love their flattering shapes and styles.

Etnia Barcelona

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT

Not surprisingly hailing from Barcelona, Etnia Barcelona has been 70 years and 3 generations in the making; it is nothing short of a family legacy. The heart of Barcelona beats through every frame: they are bold, yes, but elegant and flattering with just the right amount of colour. They emphasise your personality without overshadowing it.

WE LOVE ETNIA BARCELONA...

… because the shapes and the colours are sublime, taking inspiration from the art world. Etnia’s use of colour and pattern is unique and their artistic and cultural collaborations with famous artists keep their frames feeling contemporary and beautiful.

Silhouette

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT

Despite the French name, Silhouette was founded and continues to be based in Linz, Austria, first starting in 1964. Their designs are distinctive whilst maintaining their minimalist roots; they are a timeless combination of classic and contemporary in both style and manufacturing techniques.

WE LOVE SILHOUETTE...

… because they are world leaders in their field, creating beautiful frames that allow their wearer’s personality to shine through without overpowering them. We also love their minimal and simplistic designs – perfect for those looking for ultimate comfort.

Tom Ford

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT

The Tom Ford eyewear collection launched in 2005, after successfully conquering the fashion and beauty industries. Tom Ford is a global icon and his frames are no different. They encapsulate old Hollywood glamour, vintage with a contemporary twist subtly branded with the iconic T on each temple.

WE LOVE TOM FORD...

… because he has bettered what we thought of as ‘classic’, creating timeless frames in beautiful flattering acetates. With subtle branding and striking shapes, Tom Ford really is synonymous with style.

Ray-Ban

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT

Ray-Ban has been a leading name in sunglasses and eyewear for almost eight decades, ever since their launch of the iconic Aviators for the US Air Force in 1937. Over the years, Ray-Ban eyewear has remained culturally relevant and an instantly-recognisable accessory for generations of celebrities.

WE LOVE RAY-BAN...

… because the brand is constantly innovative, yet always remains faithful to its traditions and heritage. As well as pioneering frame development, Ray-Ban remain eyewear trendsetters. A truly iconic and recognisable brand.

Lindberg

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT

Danish optician Poul-Jørn Lindberg and architect Hans Dissing set out to create elegant lightweight frames with comfort being the overriding factor. What they achieved changed the world of optics completely. Their Lindberg Air revolutionised the optical world and almost 50 years later they are still leaders in their field.

WE LOVE LINDBERG...

… because Lindberg have never wavered from their initial quest to create stylish, lightweight frames that are typically Danish in style. Every frame is made to order, combining the finest materials, Lindberg’s own production technologies and the best craftsmanship.

Oakley

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT

Founded in California in 1975 by James Jannard, Oakley began life as motocross grip company, the headquarters being Jannard’s garage. Following his success with the Oakley Grip, he began making motocross goggles in 1980. He then diversified into ski goggles, then finally the sunglasses we all know and love in 1983.

WE LOVE OAKLEY...

… because they invest in the most up-to-date technology for both their frames and lenses. Known for their experience in sports and lifestyle frames, Oakley provide the wearer with the absolute best in quality, technology and design.
