McLaren Vision are a new brand to the eyewear market, but instantly made their way into the amazing category. They were followed up by Cutler & Gross (another quintessentially British brand) and Eco Eyewear (arguably the world’s most sustainable eyewear collection). Lucas de Stael was the first to be added here – incredible frames crafted by hand from unusual materials such as leather and stone. Since it’s primarily amazing eyewear which we feature on our channel, this tier Only 4 brands found their way into this list: Oakley, Silhouette, Hugo Boss and Carrera.Īnd then finally, we have the ‘Amazing’ category. The ‘Meh’ category was reserved for frame brands he respected, but didn’t get excited by. When making his selections, Robert was judging the brands based on quality, style, originality and influence. ![]() Randolph Engineering (producers of great military style aviator sunglasses), MODO (who make excellent titanium styles), Anglo American Optical (one of the world’s most historic eyewear brands), Walter & Herbert (classic British styling), Face a Face (fabulous Parisian artistry), Gucci, Porsche Design and Gast (considered by Robert to be one of the best value eyewear brands ever). ![]() The following brands were rated as highly recommended by Robert, although not deemed to be particularly special: Tom Ford, Ray Ban, Persol and Oliver People’s found their way into this tier, although sadly there could have been many more – we don’t tend to focus on bad glasses.
