For economic reasons, the manufacture of eyewear has focused on small and medium-sized frames and sunglasses. This has left a gap in the availability of larger sizes for an ever-growing number of people who suit larger frames.
We’ve ensured our designs have grown with our client’s needs, maintaining 1950s styling for changing face sizes.
