with their super glossy range, which is bright, shiny and fun. Manufactured in Japan, the quality is immaculate and second to none throughout the globe.

The second collection is a much more classic and understated brand established in Liverpool in the 1940s, Walter & Herbert. The family-run English brand is now in its third generation and believes that the attention to detail and unyielding pursuit of perfection is what make their frames so special.

The frames are irresistibly tactile and boast a combination of striking colours and smooth contours. They are skilfully crafted in their factory in England by specialist technicians, who ensure every frame not only looks and feels beautiful, but exceeds the British Standards of quality, performance and safety.

“We believe our new ranges along with many we already stock appeal to people’s individualism. An increasing number of people are viewing their glasses as fashion statements and therefore investing in more than one pair so they can wear different eyewear to suit the occasion,” says Robert.

The team isn’t just committed to investing in innovative eye testing equipment and fascinating product ranges, it also supports the optical industry. Robert was recently invited to be a judge at the prestigious annual Opticians Awards alongside other industry experts. The event, hosted at Grosvenor House in Park Lane, London, recognised the UK’s top optometrists, dispensing opticians, contact lens practitioners and front of house teams.

So, if you would like to understand your vision and eye health and have access to some of the most unique eyewear in the UK, contact the team at The Spectacle Factory, they’ll be delighted to welcome you to their futuristic store. n
