In today's world, things change... clothing, cars, hairstyles, computers; all are continually being improved, updated and modernised. Spectacle frames are no exception!
It is not just the appearance of frames that changes over time; better design, new materials and improved manufacturing techniques all help to create better spectacle frames that we are happier wearing.
As with clothing, it is the overall style that is a frame's most noticeable asset. It is often said that a spectacle
frame has more of an effect on our overall appearance than an item of clothing can. With this in mind, it is not surprising to find that some of the names that are most closely associated with quality fashion are also very much involved with the design of today's eyewear ...Karl Lagerfeld, Miss Sixty, Jaeger, Rocco Barocco, Converse, Paloma Picasso... the list could go on and on! They all have a reputation for style and quality, and all produce a range of well-made frames.
Of course there are 'names' that many of us haven't heard of. There are many European frame manufacturers that are household names in other countries, yet are seldom heard of in the UK. Frame makers like Silhouette, Rodenstock, Hans Stepper and Cazal are well-known on the Continent, and continue to provide spectacles wearers with quality frames.
We supply frames from all over the world so don't be surprised if there are some that you haven't heard of. Why not call in and have a browse through the latest additions to our frame collections? New frames are arriving almost weekly!
