Independent Eyewear

Independent Eyewear means collections that are designed, manufactured and hand finished by one company, in one place. They handpick the materials for the best quality products. These collections are exclusive to Independent retailers and most can’t be purchased online.

Handcrafted & Truly Unique

If you want frames that no one else has, you have to go independent. With an independent, handmade range you are paying for product, not a big brand. These companies only create eyewear, nothing else. So, you are investing in design, quality and craftsmanship. We’ve invested in these collections to bring exclusive, premium eyewear to our communities across Ayrshire.

Andy Wolf

At Andy Wolf quality and community are key (just like us!) so the whole process from design and prototyping to production and distribution is all done in Austria, where the company was founded. Meaning the frames are not only beautiful, but durable and sustainable. All the frames are assembled by hand, and hand polished by the Andy Wolf team (of just 58 people across the whole company). Andy Wolf is extremely exclusive, with the collection not available anywhere else in Ayrshire! Experience the collection at our Ayr practice.

Silhouette

Silhouette is the award-winning go to for rimless eyewear. Handmade in Austria since 1964, each frame takes 80 hours to make and uses the highest quality titanium making Silhouette frames the lightest in the world. We have a wide selection of Silhouette frames, plus you can customise the design, colour and shape for a bespoke finish. We only use Silhouette’s own lenses in these frames, as they are the world leaders in rimless glazing. Their lenses provide optimum visual comfort with premium coatings. We also have an exclusive range of 23 carat gold plated frames for the ultimate touch of glamour.

Etnia Barcelona

Founded in 1950 in Spain, the brand brings colour to eyewear in a new way. Barcelona plays an important role in the history of the collection, and this comes through in the design and colour palettes. Featuring classic shapes renewed with bold colours and pattern, the full ladies and mens collections are available at our Kilmarnock and Troon practices.
