Brookmeyer features a sculptured comfort bridge and a gentle up-curving brow-line, ideal for the wearer looking for a solid frame with a 50s feel. 💫

One of our newest acetates, Blue Tri, reminds us of the ocean early in the morning, with just a touch of dawn breaking across the sky. Our beautiful Garland sunglasses are the perfect canvas.

@GITIKASINGS Oh no, So sorry - it's like losing a good friend when you have to retire a frame.

Robert Roope behind the scenes . We’re a small company of eyewear-obsessives, - he’s probably fitted many of you personally. He’s been doing this for over 50 years now and did we mention he was also Stanley Kubrick’s eye man?

What’s your favourite Black Eyewear design?

Our cool, calm, cat-eye, Abbey (pictured here in Pastel Green). Equal parts Italian riviera and 1950s Italian cinema. Beautifully captured styled in @EudonChoi’s SS22 collection. 🔥

As the nights draw in, and screens take over our lives even more, it's time to look after your eyes.

In our St Albans store our optometrist will carry out a comprehensive examination, check your eye health and determine your up-to-date prescription.

Rio de Janeiro Carnival - through the lens of French director Marcel Camus in his movie, Black Orpheus, @EudonChoi’s SS22 collection pairs beautifully with our 1950s inspired eyewear.

This is Abbey in Tan.

The acetate of our dreams. A crystal take on rose gold, the colour brings subtle warmth and interest to every face, without being overbearing. Meet Brown Tri.

The enduring legacy of round frames. Round has always been imbued with elegance and intelligence, and it’s remained thoughtful and interesting, with unisex appeal over the decades.

Some of our most popular frames; Miles (pictured), Cannonball, Courtney and Lux feature a straight upper rim, which contributes a strong set of lines to a face. All of these frames are unisex.
