Some faces belong on posters. Some summers feel like scenes. You step from the dockside café into full sun, lenses dark against the gleam of water and applause of gulls. You’re not performing - but if someone were watching, it wouldn’t hurt.
The Sam carries that kind of gravity. A vintage rectangle, square-jawed and debonair, drawing from JFK’s quiet steel and Dickie Greenleaf’s studied ease. The frame is bold but balanced, the browline strong without shouting. A silhouette that doesn’t chase attention - it commands it.
A shadow falls. You turn slightly. Nothing to prove.
Iconic doesn’t ask. It answers.
Feel Summer.

- Featuring Poly Renew Lenses Nylon, CR39 and Polycarbonate (PC) lenses are ubiquitous in eyewear manufacturing. They’re all made with petroleum and have zero environmental credibility. Our ‘Poly Renew’ lenses are made from 50% recycled plastic. Their performance is identical to conventional lenses, however, their footprint at the raw material stage is significantly lowered. These are energy and emissions saving lenses—the future of optics.
- It All Hinges On Our Hinges All our frames are equipped with German engineered three or five barrel hinges. They are paired with coated ‘safety’ screws to minimise metal-on-metal rubbing and corrosion. Our hinges are tested to the nanometer to ensure a high level of precision and functionality day after day, year after year.
