This is a collection of Sunglasses we created Bespoke for designer Ann-Sofie Back for her London show at last weeks London Fashion Week.  They use our rimless frames as a basis... you can see what was achieved below. 

My wife and myself were invited to attend the show.  On our way out the door, our lovely baby was sick all over my wife during the baby sitter handover.  By the time we arrived at the catwalk show.... sniff.... people were actually leaving..

Never mind,  the best bits are here to see on this link: http://www.vogue.co.uk/fashion/show.aspx/catwalk-report/id,8763#/imageno/20

The frames will be available as a limited edition range (and not from me).  I can put anyone in touch who might be interested.  They only really sell in boutiques but if any Opticians are feeling brave.....

  



There is nothing more certain to fill a designer with a warm glow than being nominated for an Award...... except perhaps winning it!

Well, I am delighted to say that today we have been nominated for PRODUCT OF THE YEAR at the Optician awards, for our DESIGNER service.  Wooo hoooo!

 

We launched a new version of Supertool this week.  It was a nerve wracking time! So far, everything seems to have gone smoothly.  Its only 4 months work for three people to bring this little update but the subtleties of it will make our business run sooo much smoother.  So far so good (i.e. no problems to report!)

With less of a fanfare, I have started to update our main website as well.  It is about halfway through a face lift,  have a look and let me know what you think.... (we are busy updating over the next two weeks)

 

Finally, I just wanted to post this picture I got today.  A practice in Germany, looks like they have embraced our images.  I think they look fantastic... I think I will have to visit!
