Meet Laurie, a Retro Spectacle commission. We have taken inspiration from Michael Caine's frames across the decades and come up with this fabulous vintage inspired design. Autumn Leaf acetate creates the front of the frame, whilst the temple sides are a brown tortoiseshell mottle. The rims are thick, the temples broad. A keyhole bridge is present and a seven barrel joint secures the temple sides. Six pin head rivets can be seen on either temple. adding a great sense of style to the frame. We have opted for a larger fit to the frame, for those who struggle with original vintage frames. The quality of this frame is impeccable, handmade in England by a master craftsman, using the highest quality products, and traditional manufacturing techniques. This is a true one off for the super stylish spectacle wearer. We can alter the colour and size of this frame if required with our bespoke frames at no additional cost.

Meet Dolly our latest Retro Spectacle commission. Based on an original 1950's vintage frame which we had but sadly broke, we thought what better to do than have a master craftsman in England recreate it. So we reused the original silver fan rivet detailing, sculpted a plain black acetate front, which is a stunning cat eye shape, and fitted brown mottle temple sides. The temples are broad and the colour creates a stunning contrast to the front of the frame. This is a show piece, a one off frame that will not be found anywhere else. Created using the highest quality products, and traditional manufacturing techniques, this is a truly spectacular frame. On request we can alter the colour and size of this frame if required at no additional cost.
