Helena and — a genuinely great match ✌️

It's a shape with real history behind it. The pantoscopic silhouette dates back to WW2, built to fit a wide range of faces — and it's been a fixture ever since, from boardrooms to lecture halls to the big screen. SALT. brought it back with a classic tailored shape and a subtle keyhole bridge for a fit that just works.

Crafted by hand in Japan, with rivet hinges and acetate in colourways unique to SALT.

A frame that maps its own rules...

Theo's most recent collection takes its name from cartography — isolines are the curves on a map that connect points of equal altitude, tracing the shape of a landscape without dominating it ✨️

That same logic is at work here: fine stainless steel lines, a ceramic lacquer finish in fuchsia and purple, and a cat-eye silhouette that defines without overpowering.

Designed in Antwerp. Crafted in France. Utterly distinctive. Perfect for Anne.

Sunglasses, with a seasoning of sunshine...

L.G.R eyewear begins with a box of forgotten sunglasses found in a warehouse in Eritrea.
In 2005, Luca Gnecchi Ruscone walked into his grandfather's old optical store in Asmara — a city that had once been home to his family for four decades. What he found there became

This model is a bolder reworking of that original discovery. Thicker acetate. A milled bridge. A sharp keyhole nose bridge that gives it an edge the vintage original never had. Barberini mineral glass lenses for optical clarity that's in a different category entirely.

And yes — if minimalist is more your thing...

Remi wears . A matte black polyamide front, paired with beta-titanium temples finished with a flash of matte orange. Light enough to forget you're wearing them. Considered enough that you won't.

This is what Ørgreen does so well — the Quantum collection is one of the most technically refined frames in the world. Designed and assembled in Copenhagen, the polyamide front and beta-titanium temples connect without a single screw. The result is featherlight, precise, and built to last.

Back open Monday. Enjoy your weekend 👓 🕶

Meritxell is back — and frame number two might be her boldest yet ♥️

This time she chose : a deep coral acetate over a soft blush body. A bold frame that wears featherlight — designed and handcrafted in France with Sabine Be's signature flair for colour.

Meritxell is someone who genuinely appreciates creative design, and it shows — for her, eyewear isn't just function, it's an artistic statement.

Some people collect handbags. If you really love beautiful design, eyewear is where it gets interesting ⚡️

Jane came in wanting to move away from her usual black frames — something with a bit more life to it. Enter 💜

Andrew wears — and what a great choice ✌️

This piece is one of those frames that rewards a closer look. A 3D-printed polyamide front paired with ultra-light beta-titanium temples — near-weightless on the face, with an unseen hinge and shape memory that keeps the fit exactly where it should be.

Andrew, you look brilliant in them. Enjoy every wear.

We're back open Monday — come, try something on, and see what great design feels like 👓

Aviators have real lineage — the kind of shape that defined an era — and Mehvish wears them beautifully ❤️

The acetate aviator was the go-to silhouette for the icons of the 1970s — film, music, culture — and SALT. has carried that forward without losing what made it work. Designed in California and handcrafted in Japan brings soft lines, considered proportions, and an obsessive focus on optics — engineered to carry a prescription properly, with specific thickness transitions so the frame never puts stress on the lens.

Mehvish's lenses are finished with Seiko Road coating developed specifically to reduce the glare of oncoming headlights, so driving at night is clearer and more comfortable.

If you've been putting off glasses, or you're just ready for a change, come in and try something on. We'd love to help 👓
