Carte Blanche

Carte Blanche - a frame apart

When we received this request, the brief came down to just two words:carte blanche. Total freedom to design a pair of sunglasses. No aesthetic constraints, no imposed materials. Just the trust of a client who knows our work and invited us to carry our approach through to the end.

This frame was born of that freedom.

A bold and characterful shape, buffalo horn frame, bevelled front and sculpted temples creating a strong sense of movement, silver detailing at the temple tips, traditionally set rivets… Every choice, every element reflects our eye for detail and our desire to do things differently. And yet, behind the assertive lines, everything has been carefully considered for balance, comfort, and a perfect tailored fit.

Take a look at the photos below to discover every facet of this frame.
