Curry & Paxton represents British eyewear at its elegant, iconic best.

10/09/2026

In the words of our Founder.

Made in London. Made to last.

Close to our roots. Close to the craft.
Every Curry & Paxton frame is made in small batches, with care, precision and longevity in mind.

British eyewear, made where our story began.

06/09/2026

Every Curry & Paxton frame begins with a story.

A story that started over 140 years ago on Great Portland Street, London, where innovation, craftsmanship and optical expertise came together to shape one of Britain's most respected eyewear makers.

From pioneering ophthalmic instruments and supplying spectacles to the newly established NHS, to the iconic Yvan frame worn by Michael Caine, our heritage has always been driven by one purpose: creating eyewear that stands the test of time.

Today, every frame is still handcrafted in England, combining timeless British design with the same commitment to quality that has defined Curry & Paxton for generations.

Because true craftsmanship never goes out of style.

One Frame. Two Perspectives.

Some designs are simply timeless.

Many of our handcrafted frames transition effortlessly from optical eyewear to sunglasses, proving that great design isn't defined by the lenses it wears.

Whether fitted with prescription lenses for everyday clarity or premium ZEISS sun lenses for exceptional optical performance, the same iconic frame is ready for every occasion—from work to weekend, indoors to sunshine.

Handcrafted in England from premium Mazzucchelli acetate, every Curry & Paxton frame is designed to stand the test of time.

Which would you choose—Optical or Sun?

Classic Design
Every Curry & Paxton frame begins with a design inspired by our archive. Refined proportions and understated styling create eyewear that feels timeless rather than trend-led.

Modern Comfort
Our heritage designs are reimagined for everyday wear, with rolled edges, tapered temples and carefully considered details for a balanced, comfortable fit from morning to evening.

Handcrafted Quality
Made in England from premium Italian Mazzucchelli acetate and finished with durable five-barrel hinges, every frame is crafted with precision and care.

Made to Last
Classic silhouettes, thoughtful colourways and exceptional craftsmanship ensure every Curry & Paxton frame remains as relevant tomorrow as it is today.

Timeless design. Exceptional craftsmanship. Eyewear made to be worn for years to come.

One frame. Three distinct perspectives.
The beauty of timeless design lies in its versatility.
The Yvan is a frame that adapts to the way you see the world. Worn as an optical frame, it offers a clean, refined silhouette for everyday wear. Add a coloured tint, and the same design takes on a new character - whether you choose blue, green, rose or yellow. Fitted with premium ZEISS sun lenses, it becomes a handcrafted sunglass that combines exceptional optical performance with timeless British style.
One iconic frame.
Three ways to make it your own.
Which would you choose - Optical, Tinted or Sunglasses?

A Study in Summer Classics
Timeless Sunglasses, handcrafted in England, made to last

An edit of Curry and Paxton sunglasses, considered rather than seasonal. Distinct silhouettes, held together by the same care in proportion, material and finish. Frames made for many summers, not just one.

Handmade eyewear using premium materials and designed for everyday comfort, Langham frame that works just as well with prescription lenses as it does with sunglasses.

See the World in Green
A green tint offers a beautifully balanced view of the world, making it a timeless choice for those who value both performance and understated style. By reducing glare while maintaining natural colour perception, green-tinted lenses provide exceptional visual comfort in changing light conditions—whether you're exploring the countryside, walking through the city or enjoying a day outdoors.

Favoured for their versatility, green lenses help improve contrast without altering the colours around you, creating a crisp, relaxed viewing experience that's easy on the eyes throughout the day. Paired with premium ZEISS lenses and offering 100% UVA & UVB protection, every pair combines outstanding optical clarity with handcrafted British design.

Introducing the next generation.

Great style isn't inherited—it's discovered.

These moments remind us that timeless craftsmanship and thoughtful design continue to resonate across generations. Handcrafted in England and made to last, every Curry & Paxton frame is created with the belief that true classics never lose their appeal.

Some introductions are worth making.

A Familiar Frame, Seen in a New Light.
Known and loved as an optical style, the Carlton in Coffee is every bit as elegant as a sunglass.
Its timeless silhouette transitions effortlessly from everyday optical wear to sophisticated sunwear, proving that great design isn't defined by how it's worn.
Handcrafted in England from premium Mazzucchelli acetate and fitted with ZEISS sun lenses, Carlton delivers exceptional clarity, reduced glare and 100% UVA & UVB protection.
Proof that some classics shine just as brightly in the sun.
