Some of our most popular frames; Miles (pictured), Cannonball, Courtney and Lux feature a straight upper rim, which contributes a strong set of lines to a face. All of these frames are unisex. #eyeweardesign #eyewear #optics #britishdesign #midcenturyeyewear #blackeyewear

The enduring legacy of round frames. Round has always been imbued with elegance and intelligence, and it’s remained thoughtful and interesting, with unisex appeal over the decades. #roundframes #roundglasses #historyofeyewear #blackeyewear #eyeweardesign #optics #robertroope

As the nights draw in, and screens take over our lives even more, it's time to look after your eyes. In our St Albans store our optometrist will carry out a comprehensive examination, check your eye health and determine your up-to-date prescription. #eyecare #blackeyewear

Robert Roope behind the scenes . We’re a small company of eyewear-obsessives, - he’s probably fitted many of you personally. He’s been doing this for over 50 years now and did we mention he was also Stanley Kubrick’s eye man? What’s your favourite Black Eyewear design?

Our cool, calm, cat-eye, Abbey (pictured here in Pastel Green). Equal parts Italian riviera and 1950s Italian cinema. Beautifully captured styled in Eudon Choi’s SS22 collection. 🔥 #blackeyewear #blackeyewearabbey #eudonchoi #ss22

One of our newest acetates, Blue Tri, reminds us of the ocean early in the morning, with just a touch of dawn breaking across the sky. Our beautiful Garland sunglasses are the perfect canvas. Every frame is a journey here at #BlackEyewear HQ. #acetate #optics #independenteyewear
