Exciting Independent Eyewear in Wimbledon Village
Ahlem
Ahlem is a brand born out of a loss of a favourite pair of vintage sunnies. Eyewear is a crowded landscape but the draw of Ahlem is unmistakable thanks to its fusion of exquisite design and innovative approach. Inspired by Parisian elegance and it shows! And of course, handmade in France, Oyanaxx to be precise.
Just when you thought they couldn’t get any better her palladium frames are electroplated in 22k gold. We absolutely love our Ahlem collection but don’t just take our word for it, she was runner-up in the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund in 2017 a competition that highlights fresh and upcoming talent in fashion.
Thierry Lasry
Thierry Lasry or “the french eyewear wizz” – Founded in 2006, Theirry who’s father was an optician and mother a designer, could you ask for a better combination by the way?
He perceives the sunglass to be the ultimate accessory and is known for his futuristic flat-fronted designs which help make his glasses unmistakable. Much like every eyewear geek needs a classic Lunor, Thierry’s striking sunglasses are a must-have head-turner.
Lunor
Lunor glasses offer supreme quality and easy-to-wear shapes that make them a staple for any eyewear lovers. Handmade in their very own zero energy factory in Germany’s Black Forest. In their pursuit of traditional craftsmanship and uncompromising quality, Lunor’s frames are made from the finest cotton acetate.
During production frames are barrel polished for 10 days and as if that wasn’t enough each frame is then hand polished, culminating in a polished finish like no other.
You Mawo
You Mawo was launched in 2016 at the Berlin Optical show and since then YouMawo has been at the forefront of innovation using 3D printing, scanning, and machine learning to the perfect custom frame.
This bold innovation has won them numerous designer awards even in their comparatively short existence.
As a company, You Mawo are 100% climate-neutral and their frames are 100% made in Germany.
Johann Wolff
Founded in 2020 by brothers Eric and Lorenzo, they aim to bridge the gap between unique vintage eyewear and modern design to create frames that will feel cool and modern while also being evergreen.
They aimed to supply a great quality frame at a very fair price point. Bridging the gap between the ultra high-end brands and the poor quality injection molded frames. We think they have done this magnificently.
La Brique et la Violette
La Brique et la Violette was founded in 2012 by Marine & Romain, after Romain started making bespoke eyewear for his clients in his optician. They now design, create, and manufacture frames that are original, humorous, and elegant. Inspired by the people, the characters, and the colours of their city of Toulouse.
The frames are all handcrafted with incredible care and detail in their own small twelve-person workshop in Toulouse.
For something extra special, you can even create your own one-of-one bespoke colour frame. Something that is incredibly rare these days and has been extremely well received and popular with our clients.
