New: Cutler and Gross
Founded in 1969, British luxury eyewear brand Cutler and Gross combines the finest Italian craftsmanship with irrefutably cool style. Since its establishment in fashion’s halcyon days, the brand’s signature creativity has been applied to sunglasses and optical frames with their trademark numbered designs and absence of an ostentatious logo.For decades, Graham Cutler and Tony Gross’s frames relied, in part, upon their reputation being dripped and whispered within style and fashion circles like verbal quicksilver. Considered bastions of iconic eyewear, Cutler and Gross designs continue to grace many of the most recognisable faces in the worlds of art, design, music and film. Today the brand has stores in the UK, North America and Canada and is stocked in selected department, optical and concept stores worldwide.Worn by celebrities Lady Gaga, Kanye West, Bono, Elton John, Samual Jackson, Victoria Beckham and many others in sunglasses, opthalmic and bespoke eyewear.

Like Dilem, Zenka frames are made in France and are based on the concept of changing your eyewear as often as you change your clothes. With Zenka however, it is the frame front that changes. Plastic and metal clips are easily slotted into the frame to create the appearance of a whole new pair of eyeglasses. Zenka's catalogue of frame fronts has enough colours and patterns to create and entire wardrobe of looks, and is updated often to keep up with fashion.Zenka was an instant success when it was launched at the 2001 Silmo eyewear conference in Paris, and on the first day of the conference was nominated for the Silmo Gold Award in the category of Technological Innovation. Wow your friends with your modern, innovative, ever-changing eyewear!

Yves Cogan Eyewear from France
Cogan eyewear was created in 1994 by Yves Cogan, a man with an eye for fashionable and practical eyewear, but with little design training. Armed with his sense of artistry, he launched his own collection, inspired by an international vision and the delight of exploration, including travel, encounters, architecture, and design. In spite of his inexperience, he created a world-renowned brand of durable, functional eyeglasses for men and women. Cogan's frames for men are sporty and masculine, while the women's frames are soft and elegant. Today, his designs represent a genuine alternative, a sophisticated and comfortable way for men and women to assert their visual identity
JF Rey Eyewear from France

Bellinger Eyewear from Denmark
The creators of Bellinger eyewear are truly artists when it comes to the colour, shape, and especially the material of their products. Their use of acetate, a common eyeglass frame material, is completely unique: they combine the cotton, acetone, and alcohol that is used in all acetates with their own special colours, then pull and stretch the acetate to create different effects and dimensions of colour. They often use five different kinds of acetate in one frame, and the result is that no two frames are exactly alike. Their metal frames also demonstrate their mastery of texture and colour, with etched patterns and fun, bright colours. These one-of-a-kind frames will compliment your unique style.
Silhouette Eyewear from Austria
