✨ A playful, sculptural piece from theo eyewear

Both fitted with her prescription, both guaranteed to turn heads.

Enjoy wearing them, Princess — we love seeing you bring these frames to life 👓💛

When the outfit and the eyewear match 💙✨

This is Shelly, who first discovered us at our theo eyewear exhibition three years ago and has been a fan ever since. She returned to our 2025 Theo Takeover and, naturally, fell in love all over again.

This latest look? A perfect pairing of vibrant personality and precise styling. Fitted with bespoke varifocal lenses and Dinamica's brand new 'Blue Ocean' colourway, tying the entire look together.

Always a pleasure, Shelly. Enjoy these as much as your last pair (though we think these might be the new favourite 😉).

This is the Kuboraum Berlin G7, part of their G-Series, inspired by liquefaction. That moment a solid becomes liquid and freezes mid-flow.

For our client, a golfer with a taste for the extraordinary, we created a varifocal setup with:
🌸 30% light rose tint – high contrast for spotting the ball & reading the course
💚 Jade green Dinamica – balances vision against the grass
✨ Our signature glamour coating – gold sheen, glare gone

Not your typical golf frame… but when art meets sport, magic happens.

✨ Deborah, you’ve done it right! ✨

After a prescription change during her regular eye exam (friendly reminder if you saw our latest newsletter 👀), Deborah took the opportunity to refresh her eyewear game, and let’s just say… she did not come to play.

💖 First up: A bold and brilliant mosaic-inspired pink frame from theo eyewear. Full of character, fun, and that signature Theo artistry.
💜 Next: A sharp mauve angular design from Kuboraum Berlin, fitted with bespoke varifocals and Dinamica technology, so she gets full sun protection with complete visual comfort and of course, added style!

Two looks. Both fabulous. One confident woman.

Enjoy every moment wearing them, Deborah!

✈️ Back from LA and straight into The Optical Gallery, as Humphrey collects his two new pairs of eyewear.
⁠
First up: this moody matte black Kuboraum Berlin frame with a sculpted texture like liquid. We fitted them with Marma London enhanced single vision lenses that go full blackout in UV thanks to Dinamica tech, topped off with our crystal elite coating. All the anti-glare benefits, none of the hues.⁠
⁠
Next: a wild JFREY Eyewear Design number Humphrey brought in. We gave it the full OG touch, again enhanced single vision lenses with that comfortable boost for near vision, a blue 20% tint that transitions to a G15 tone in the sun due to Transition Xtraactive technology, and a red flash mirror to top them off. Futuristic, stylish and functional.⁠

Full breakdown of the JF Rey is live on our Reels 🎥
Humphrey, always a pleasure. Your eyewear game is reaching icon status!

Shirley doesn’t do ordinary, which is why she makes the trip from Guildford to our Twickenham gallery when it’s time to upgrade her eyewear game.

This time, she added two new pieces from to her collection:
🎨 A calm acetate number from Theo’s Painter Palette collection, fitted with her varifocals and a Dinamica Pink Rio photochromic to match.
🌀 And a playful round frame in navy and orange, from their Characters collection fitted again with just her varifocals.

As always, Shirley, it was a pleasure. Enjoy every moment wearing them!
