Limited edition eyewear. Released 6 times a year.
As a small team of just two makers, Lucy and I handmake small batches of limited edition spectacles and sunglasses in our workshop here in Glasgow.
With a small capacity but big passion, our handmade frames are only available six times a year.
How our releases work
When the website is open, you can place your order. When it’s closed, we’re back at the bench making the next batch.
This approach allows us to focus properly on each stage of the process, without rushing, outsourcing, or cutting corners. It's why we don't have stockists and why you won't find our frames anywhere else.
Yes, this approach is absolutely slower. But the frames we make a re ridiculously good, made with intention rather than urgency.
When is the next release?
The date of the next release is stated on our homepage.
We always open on a Wednesday at 4pm UK time, usually towards the end of the month. The exact date depends on whether we’re releasing a new collection, finishing a fresh batch, or waiting on raw materials to arrive at our workshop.
We announce the next opening shortly after the previous closure. That way, if you missed out or decided to wait, you’ll know exactly how long you have until the next opening.
Can I reserve a frame or pre-order?
Unfortunately, no.
Between shop openings, we’re usually at our busiest. Making frames. Processing prescription lenses. Fitting lenses. Packing orders. Fixing the occasional mistake. It’s pretty full-on.
We don’t make to order. Things can go wrong during production, and we’d hate to promise a frame we can’t deliver on time. Keeping everything first come, first served is the fairest approach for everyone waiting.
Our releases last over four days (Wed - Sun) which gives you plenty of time to place your order. That duration is intentional. It’s there to remove pressure, not create it. No gimmicks.
Do you always sell out?
Popular frames sell out within the first day or so, while others can remain available for the duration of the opening. After the website closes, any remaining stock is used for exchanges or it becomes available again during the next shop opening.
Can I make an exchange after the website closes?
Yes.
If we still have the frame you’d like, we’re more than happy to exchange it for you, even after the website has closed. To make this happen, use the “exchanges” section on your A4 paper returns form included with your order. Simply state the frame you’d like to make the exchange for and we’ll do our best to send that exchange frame to you.
If the frame you want isn't in stock, we'll let you know via email and arrange an alternative or issue a refund.
Can I order lenses after the website closes?
Yes.
If you choose the home try-on option when ordering, you can try your new frames at home first. Once you’re happy, you can order your prescription lenses from us separately, even while the shop is closed.
Before you go
Opening our website just six times a year isn't the normal way of doing things. Compared to the big optical brands or your local optician, it's unorthodox. Which is why I wrote this blog post.
As you've discovered, we're not creating artificial hype or using scarcity tactics. Our small workshop has a capacity and we're choosing to focus on quality, care and focus over constant availability.
Fewer frames. Better frames. Made properly.
