What is independent eyewear?

Most eyewear on the market comes from a small handful of conglomerates. Independent eyewear is different — designed and owned by the people whose names are on it, often made in small workshops rather than mass-produced factories. This directory exists to celebrate that wider world, not to list our own stock — what we actually carry in-store changes and is only ever a small slice of it. Curious about a name here? Ask us — we love talking eyewear either way.
