Why ‘The Fit’ is so Important

Why ‘The Fit’ is so Important

It really is all about ‘the fit’. Your frames should beautifully and architecturally frame the structure of your face. Black Eyewear designer Robert Roope is a master of ‘the fit’ – having worked for more than 50 years in the business of optics.

“Like Frank Gehry‘s architecture embraces the landscapes in which they are created,” Roope says, “there are similar echoes and challenges here; we survey facial ‘landscapes’ to create eyewear that fits and enriches the identity of the place it occupies.”

Don’t miss a personal Black Eyewear fitting from Robert at our Goodge St, London shop on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 12pm
