Kirk Originals sunglasses and opticals

Tuesday, 14 July 2015

Kirk Originals design their eyewear in the UK and it's made in the Jura region of France using fine Italian acetates. Relaunched last year, Kirk Originals was seen on the likes of Oasis, Gary Oldman and Anthony Hopkins in the early nineties. Much of the collection has a retro feel and, under new ownership, it's rediscovering its original purpose in interpreting vintage styles for modern wear.

I wear the Genoa sunglasses above, with a smoky grey frame and charcoal lenses, £255. Optical frames are also available (as below), all in a wide range of shapes and colours.

The acetate frames are priced around £250 and metal styles around £290. See Kirk Originals.
