Bold hues and tones range from striking Digital Teal and Cyber Red to the nuanced Soft Sloe and Golden Verde. The lenses are outlined by an SPX ring flowing into the matching coloured sides.

Model Bell in C2 Raspberry
Three new styles have been introduced to the Made in England Walter and Herbert collection – named Bell, Cook and Simmons. In September 1946, two young entrepreneurs partnered to create Optoplast Manufacturing Company Limited. In the 40 years that followed, Walter Conway and Herbert Thorn enjoyed great success as they developed technology such as the PIMO machine, an innovation that would shape the way spectacles were manufactured worldwide. Today, James Conway and Daniel Thorn are continuing this legacy, creating their own collection of frames. Exclusively distributed in the UK by Continental Eyewear, the full collection can be viewed on the company’s website.
Going large with Angus and Guy Kirk Centena Angus in C3 Crimson
Kirk and Kirk have designed two new frames for larger head sizes and they go by the names of Angus and Guy. Angus and Guy form part of the company’s Centena collection; Angus is a 60 eye size and Guy is a 59 eye size. “Opticians around the world have been requesting Kirk & Kirk styling for larger heads,” said Karen Kirk. “Options that consider style and colour as opposed to bland, functional frames have historically been limited. Handmade from acrylic, these frames are incredibly light and comfortable to wear.” All Kirk & Kirk Centena frames are handmade in 10mm acrylic, from start to finish, in one factory in France.
