Introducing Carnaby

Introducing Carnaby, the new sunglass design from Oliver Goldsmtih. 

Closely related to the Casper from the Icons collection, the Carnaby has all of Casper's interesting detail and combines a slimmed down silhouette with slightly softer edges than its iconic relative

                                   

Surf, Sand, Sunglasses

We love this image of the iconic Oliver Goldsmith sunglass frame 'Norum (1958)', shot for Eyewear Magazine. You may remember this design recently won Best Frame of the Year at the British Opticians Awards.

Glasses of the Week: Lady in Red

Sonia Shah is a vision in her new Oliver Goldsmiths!

This vintage design originated in 1968 and is as striking today as it was then. The matte crystal finish lends a modern edge with the beautiful sunset tinted lenses. They are stunning with her red wool coat and our Michael Holmes logo ;)

Feline Fine with Viva

If you picked up a copy of The Herald's Viva magazine yesterday you will have seen our beautiful Oliver Goldsmith cat-eye sunglasses featured as part of a feline-inspired fashion spread. This vintage design originated in Notting Hill in 1959 and is as striking today as it was then. Thanks for the mention Viva, the Olive Tortoiseshell look stunning.

The Ipcress File

March is the 50th anniversary of THE IPCRESS FILE staring Michael Caine in his iconic 

Oliver Goldsmith glasses! Channel your inner Caine with Claire Goldsmith's contemporary 

take on these classic frames.

Viva Goldsmith!

Oliver Goldsmith's new limited edition 'Norum' in Papaya Rainbow is seen in this week's Viva magazine as part of a feature on the British style invasion. This stunning colour really pops against a neutral wardrobe, thanks Viva!

Introducing the 'Hampstead'

We are very excited to be the first store in the world to offer the brand new 'Hampstead' sunglass design from Oliver Goldsmith.

While the 'Hampstead' holds the same DNA as the popular and now withdrawn vintage 'Chas (1966)' model, Goldsmith have cleverly designed a whole new identity to surround the iconic lens shape.

This model comes in several beautiful new colours including patterned acetate with names like 'Jam' and 'Blue Amber' that really need to be seen in person to be appreciated. The 'Hampstead' is in both stores now.

Blue Rainbow Perfection!

Vanessa Hills wears her fabulous new limited edition Oliver Goldsmith 'Norum' in Blue Rainbow. These sunglasses are sensational, the beautiful graduated shades of plue and purple are stunning when the light shines through the acetate and turns them translucent. 

Vanessa's love of colour extends from her accessories to her mode of transport, and she must be the most stylish scooter rider around town!

Norum Nomination!

The NORUM sunglass by Oliver Goldsmith has been nominated by Optician Magazine for their annual Optician Awards in the category of Frame of the Year! 

We have featured this amazing design, originally from 1958, before. It is truly unique, with beveled acetate at the edges that creates a translucency and an oversized almost butterfly-shaped frame which flatters and commands attention.

Congratulations to Oliver Goldsmith & Claire Goldsmith, just to be nominated is a win in our eyes :) 

Fingers crossed for the big day!

Seeing Double

Iain Archer's new frames courtesy of Claire Goldsmith and Oliver Goldsmith demonstrate how a design can really change your look. Both of these models were orginally sunglasses that we fitted with optical lenses, and they suit Iain perfectly. On the left is a double-bridge design from Claire Goldsmith, and on the right a vintage-inspired sunglass from Claire's great grandfather, Oliver Goldsmith. Both designed in Notting Hill and handmade in Italy.

Iain has designed clothing for many companies and now focuses on fashion lecturing, so his innate sense of style helped in choosing these two fantastic different looks. We love how these sunglass frames look as opticals!
