Welcoming in the bank holiday weekend is Aoife in

A modernised cat-eye silhouette reimagined with squared-off lines and a sleek temple construction in a warm khaki tortoise acetate. The style is a nod to vintage eyewear styles of the 1950s - otherwise known as the "golden era." Simply great on Aoife 💛

She chose a striking electric blue piece from Theo's Potato Chips family. Think of this frame like the perfect crisp: ultra-light, thin, and unexpectedly addictive. Crafted from a single sheet of stainless steel, it's a minimalist design that still makes a statement.

With its soft almond shape — it's flattering, expressive, and unmistakably Theo.
