Coral Eyewear
Design Circularly:
We’re proud to create glasses and sunglasses from a material called ECONYL. It starts with rescuing waste found at sea and in landfills, sorting and cleaning the plastic to recover the nylon.
Built To Last:
The regenerated nylon goes on to form a strong frame for our eyewear that you can trust to be as tough as virgin plastic – without damaging our planet.
There’s No Planet B:
Using ECONYL regenerated nylon reduces the global warming impact of nylon by up to 90% compared with nylon made from oil.
Infinitely Recyclable Style:
Even better, our glasses can be recycled infinitely. If you need a new pair or just want to mix up your look, you can send your frames back to us for recycling. You’ll enjoy 10% off your next pair.

Dare to be different
Introducing Johann Von Goisern: Handmade in Austria with exceptional design, high-quality standards and excellent customer service, the brand quickly gained international popularity.

Ted Baker remains something of an enigma. In 1988 he established himself as a shirting specialist of some repute and quickly went on to develop a wider range of exceptional menswear designs. In time, he also found sophisticated ladies requesting that he apply his unique flair for fashion to womenswear as well. He duly obliged, and soon all four corners of the world had cottoned on to what Ted still likes to call ‘fashion’s best-kept secret’. Today, Ted Baker London is renowned for its perfect mix of distinctive design, beautiful quality and unconventional creativity, all liberally spiced with Ted’s irreverent sense of humour and unswerving attention to detail.

Reykjavik Eyes
Reykjavik Eyes was conceived by Icelandic frame designer Gunnar Gunnarsson. As a child, Gunnar worked in his parent’s opticians in Iceland, spending his summer holidays replacing lost screws and working on broken glasses.
This work spurred Gunnar to design his own frames. Thus, Reykjavik Eyes was born.
Each of the sleek models comes in three colours that combine a sophisticated palette with hints of vibrant hues, all inspired by the landscape of Iceland.
Flashes of striking titanium paired with rich tones of Mazzucchelli acetate make for a bold and confident collection.
Eco
With ECO®, we bring sustainability and social responsibility full circle – from the materials we use in our frames to the trees we plant that clean the air and enable farmers to support their communities. We have planted over 1.5 million trees so far!
Anglo-American - ENGLAND
Anglo-American roots stretch back to 1882 when Englishman Stanley Druiff travelled to the US to buy a number of items, including eyeglasses, to sell on his return to the UK.
Anglo American Optical came into our own family when it was bought by Arthur Jenkin in 1947. As the main breadwinner for his family at the age of 13, had become a businessman early, servicing and repairing binoculars for British and Canadian forces in World War II. So though he was young, he was backed by experience.
A year later, in 1948, Britain’s National Health Service was established and many people received free frames. Arthur was considered something of a visionary, importing Tura, Whitney and Gaspari “fashion” frames from the US that offered the British market something different.
Following career ambitions to make frames himself, Arthur’s son Lawrence traced his father’s company’s roots back to the US in 1967 when he moved to New York to learn the trade. While there, he worked with high-end Lugene Opticians and optical boutique Vision Unlimited. He also designed frames as a freelancer for Whitney Optical and won frame designing competitions. After three successful years overseas, Lawrence had made such an impression on the owner of Vision Unlimited that, when he responded to a question about what he wanted to do with his life, he was told, “Here’s a cheque; go and do it.” With $24,000 to establish his own factory on his father’s premises, that’s exactly what he did.
Within a decade of Lawrence’s return, Arthur took a backseat and Lawrence’s brothers Malcolm and Tony became heavily involved. Anglo American was selling frames in the UK, but the majority were sold back to customers in the US and exported abroad to many other countries. In 1986, they opened a shop on New York’s Park Avenue. From the 1970s-1990s, creative, over the top designs were synonymous with the Anglo American name. Much of their work was, and still is, hand-finished.
In 1996, Lawrence left the company to pursue personal goals, working on bespoke projects and training young people in the art of frame-making as what was once a dying art is experiencing a revival. In 2000, Tony took on the position as head of the company and more recently, his son Toby joined the team, bringing in a third generation.
