Three frames. One very clever detail.
Introducing the Morel Eclipse 1, 2 and 3 — now in practice.

Each Eclipse frame comes with a polarised clip-on, engineered to work seamlessly with Morel's patented screwless hinge. No loose parts, no fuss — just a precise, secure fit that transforms your optical frames into a pair of polarised sunglasses in seconds.
It's a detail that sounds simple. The engineering behind it is anything but. Morel has been refining their hinge technology in France since 1880 — developing a system with no screws and no soldering that delivers exceptional comfort and requires zero maintenance over its lifetime. The clip-on is a natural extension of that same thinking: intelligent design that serves the wearer completely.

Polarised lenses reduce glare from reflective surfaces — water, roads, glass — in a way standard tinted lenses cannot. For anyone who spends time driving, near water, or simply outdoors, the difference is immediately noticeable.

Two pairs in one frame. Ask us about the Eclipse collection when you're next in.

Come in and try them. You'll forget you're wearing them.

Not your average pair of glasses.

Meet the Dutz DZ2354 — translucent green acetate with a perforated burgundy metal brow bar. The kind of detail that takes a frame from functional to favourite.

Dutz is a Dutch independent eyewear brand known for bold colour combinations and architectural details you simply won't find on the high street. This is exactly why we spend time searching for brands that are a little different.

Come in and try them on. We'd love to help you find the right frame.
