“CAROLINE ABRAM’S COLLECTIONS ARE INTENDED FOR ALL THE WOMEN WHO WANT TO FEEL BEAUTIFUL, SENSUAL, OR JUST THEMSELVES”
Caroline reflects parts of her background and heritage from, Paris and Senegal to the bright colours of India, and the festive creativity of the Caribbean. She also spends a lot of time in the U.S., particularly in Miami, Florida, and brings ideas back from her travels. The result is a line of eyewear that is more colourful and vibrant than others on the market. Her aim is to help individuals express a side of their personality that they are normally too diffident to display.

A heritage brand born in the heart of West Hollywood, on Sunset Boulevard, Oliver Peoples was founded in 1987.

From the beginning, Oliver Peoples had a passion for superior product, a distinctive culture rooted in California, and an obsession with service. These core values have remained at the heart of the brand and endure today.
Each Oliver Peoples frame is hand crafted with careful attention to detail, sculpting and perfecting the materials to achieve a balanced and refined final product. The technically intricate process involves both state of the art machinery and the human touch.

Copenhagen

The Ørgreen trademark is our prescription eyewear, made in titanium and beta-titanium: metals of a superb quality designed to last. Our collections are designed and developed in Denmark and made by hand in Japan, known and respected for high standards and irrefutable quality.
The Ørgreen aesthetic is playful, dynamic, and sometimes provocative, but never arrogant. It is about tugging at traditions, daring to challenge them, and setting a new agenda. Rather than build on fleeting trends, our unique style and lines are recognizable and will always remain consistent through our designs, which are timeless and seasonless but never without history.

First created in 1995, Face à Face glasses grew out of a passion for architecture shared by a small group of eyewear enthusiasts.
Like an architect, Face à Face works with volumes, shapes, materials, colours, and textures to give its glasses the power to express the personality of their wearer, whether that’s bold, carefree, energetic, independent, or even seductive.
Their frames are manufactured in the Jura, France by the finest local craftsmen, who combine artistic skills with mastery of technological innovations.
When it comes to glasses, one size definitely does not fit all. Without expert support and guidance, the task of finding the frame that best suit your face shape, colouring, style and daily needs can seem bewildering.

In 2011, the French eyewear company FACE A FACE launched a second brand, WOOW, a colourful stylish line of off-beat frames with engaging messages on the temples.
Why WOOW? Woow is a palindrome, a fun “sound” that people use as an expression for many different things. You can say it any way you want, and it is totally spontaneous. As a collection name, it works perfectly with the witty phrases on the temples. We wanted to see if we could create a new relationship with eyewear through this name, inspiring happiness, joy and hope through humour, colour, and the personal touch of the words on different frame styles.

Gernot Lindor, a German optician with a passion for art and antiquity, created Lunor in 1991. Lunor is well-known around the world for their traditional production methods – all of which take place in Germany. The name of the brand comes from the French phrase “Lunette d’Or,” which means golden spectacles. This name is the result of Lunor’s first eyeglasses, which were, in fact, made from gold. Still a family-owned company today, the Lunor workshop, located on the edge of Germany’s Black Forest, employs just 20 master craftsmen.
For nearly 28 years, Lunor has been creating the highest quality handmade frames with an understated retro styling. World famous for their contemporary interpretations of classic designs, each frame has a restrained luxurious look that radiates timeless quality.

The first Vinylize frames were hand made in Seattle Washington in the year 2000 by Tipton Eyeworks founder Zachary Tipton. A prototype was handmade from an old Creedence Clearwater Revival album and Zack hit the road to find a way to manufacture frames made from vinyl.
In 2004 he joined forces with his brother Zoltan and re-founded Tipton Eyeworks, this time in Budapest. In 2014, the machines originally used to make the first Vinylize frames were put up for sale and were bought by the brothers.
Today, every Vinylize frame is handmade in the European Union by a team of 16 people. Each frame takes six weeks to make. Vinylize recycles more than 3 tonnes of dump destined vinyl into eyewear and accessories each year.
Glasses that flatter the wearer can provide a tremendous confidence boost. The frame shape designed for your individual face shape, will be most complimentary, as these will best enhance and highlight your features.
