Starting off the week with Kathryn in Theo⚡️

From the Painters Palettes family, this colourway has that layered approach @theoeyewear does well — transparent burgundy over green, giving the frame depth rather than a flat hit of colour. The tones shift as the light moves across it, almost as if the piece has been painted from within.

There’s a quiet nod to Andy Warhol in the way something familiar is reworked with a twist. The compact almond shape stays very wearable, while the layered acetate brings in that play on overlays and transparency, adding a gentle edge without pushing too far.

A touch of art influence, a bit of colour interplay, all delivered in a considered, understated way 🌈

Catherine looking fantastic in Ørgreen ⚡️

A clean, softly angular shape with a gentle cat-eye influence — modern, feminine and easy to wear. Handcrafted in Japan with @orgreenoptics usual attention to detail. The navy acetate keeps it understated and timeless.

Here's James in @garrettleight 

This version in rosewood tort has that familiar GLCO design, with a little more depth in colour. Paired with the classic shape — a clean, well-proportioned square with softened edges — it feels easy to wear.

Handcrafted acetate keeps it light, while the GLCO hardware adds that premium finish they’re known for. A good choice if you like something modern, but still rooted in timeless design.

Finishing up the week with Mai in Theo 💜

From the Painter Palettes family, this luminous purple version feels subtly edgy while remaining easy to wear every day.

A compact rectangular acetate with softly rounded corners, it sits in the space @theoeyewear is known for: distinctive in design, carefully made, with just a touch of avant-garde flair.

Back open Monday. To explore our collections, visit us online 👓

Mhairi in @garrettleight 👌

Inspired by mid-century design, it redefines the aviator silhouette with sleek lines and perfectly balanced proportions.

This version, in gold with black accents, combines minimalist form with subtle contrast — a look that feels both modern and timeless. Lightweight construction and handcrafted detailing ensure lasting comfort and quality.

Designed in California and handcrafted in Japan, it reflects Garrett Leight’s vision of effortless style rooted in craftsmanship
