Has Spring properly arrived?

Well, this week we have had sunshine, rain and hail in spells for the past 2 days!? So maybe not with the weather! 🌦️⛈️☀️

BUT - our new spring season frames have arrived and they are gorgeous!

I've taken a photo of one of my favourites from the new Spring / Summer collection.

I just love the colourways of this model and especially in the blue with pink edging. 😍 And of course with the quality we get from Morel then this won't stay on the shelf for long!

So, if you are feeling the sunshine and want some new colour in your life we may just have what you are looking for.

Roll on the Summer, here's to more beautiful eyewear. 😎
