Orgreen - Modern Design

Modern design is part of the Danes’ national identity and eyewear design house Orgreen, is a fine example. The strength of Japanese titanium turned into natural curves is a perfect marriage of function and form, a beautiful expression of Scandi design.

Oliver Goldsmith Matador

The debonnaire, Mr Garrick Sutherland wearing his new Oliver Goldsmith sunglasses very well. A true "tomorrow's classic," it is almost unbelievable this model was first designed in 1968

This masculine look by British design house, Kirk & Kirk, is as amazing on women as men. Frame is colour "earth" and in store now.

Debbie Harry: Get the Look

We're Proud to be Independent

Our passion and purpose is to introduce independent, handmade ethical eyewear, individualised frame fittings and exceptional eye health care.

Zyl Acetate

Pictured here is a slab of cellulose (cotton fibre) acetate from which our frames are cut. The frame parts are placed in barrels with wood chips and rumbled to achieve an exceptional lustre. Acetate frames are tough, light and feel natural against the skin.

It's all in the Details

Danish design house, Orgreen employs a full time colourist to create stunning colour combinations. Each frame is painted eight times for a rich, luxurious matte finish.

Southern Cross

We're pleased to announce we are now a Southern Cross Affiliated Provider. Let us know your Southern Cross membership number and we can lodge an 'Easy-Claim' on your behalf.

Retailer of the Year 2017

We're very proud to announce we won Retailer of the Year for the second year in a row last night at the Newmarket Business Awards. Congratulations to all the other winners!

Introducing Kirk & Kirk Eyewear

We’re excited to introduce  over 70 pieces of London based, Kirk & Kirk. Add some drama to your optical or sunglass wardrobe with these luxuriant colourways.

New From RVS

Liven up your optical wardrobe  this winter with a pair of RVS. Based in New York, RVS  have recently moved production to Japan ensuring supreme quality. These bold frames steer well away from any refinement and the recently patented, super strong hinge mechanism adds an industrial feel. Very geek chic!

Scandinavian Design

Pictured here new Orgreen titanium sunglasses, perfect for those heading off for some sun this winter. No fuss, just stunning, clean Scandi design. We love the matte titanium.

Donate Your Old Glasses

Tired of the look of your frame? Do you have old frames sitting in a drawer collecting dust? Drop them back to us and we’ll donate them to charity for re-purposing as spectacles for those in need.

In our "throw away" society, the best form of sustainability is to consume less and for that reason we prefer quality that lasts the test of time.  Our independent designers are all small businesses hand making frames of the highest quality, designed to last well beyond fleeting fads/ fashions
