Fabulous & Fresh from Goldsmith

Eyewear never looked so good

We are still eagerly awaiting a few new models from Claire Goldsmith that have not yet finished production. We'll keep you posted!

Claire Goldsmith has done it again. Feast your eyes on these stunning brand new designs straight out of London! Some of these new styles feature the added subtle detailing of textured acetate, which adds a whole new level of interest.

Glasses of the Week: Cracking Claire Goldsmith

Mark Kessner's new Claire Goldsmith glasses are the perfect fit without compromising style. The flat top of the frame front is classic modern while the lower level angles add interest. Modern design with a nod to the past, this really is intelligent style.

Glasses of the Week: Dapper Style

A gentleman who lives life to the full, we were charged with the responsibility of finding John Bell a dapper new frame to go with his cap! This Bevel model in smoke crystal was just the trick.

Glasses of the Week: Heaven Sent

Reverend Matthew Newton rocks his denim shirt with his brand new Bevel glasses. These matte smoke crystal frames are the embodiment of understated style, and really let the blue of his eyes and shirt do the talking. Matthew is from St Paul's Church and is studying a PhD ecclesiastical matters. Amen to these glasses!
