BRAND

theo eyewear is specifically designed for those who desire something different in eyewear. It is all about incorporating individuality, a certain ‘edge’ and a touch of humor to eyewear. The theo goal, which has never changed, is to design eyewear along with the optician, and together give the customer an unforgettable experience while satisfying their eyewear needs.

Cuthbert & Chen was created and designed by Jay Owens and Marya Francis, the husband and wife force behind the world’s largest historic eyewear company. RetroSpecs’ Cuthbert & Chen eyewear features individually registered hand polished buffalo horn frames and modern customizable titanium frames with blonde horn nosepads.

Anne et Valentin was launched in 1984 and named Anne et Valentin. This is when the true artistry in frame production for the company commenced. The creations were and still are original, colorful and lively, all of which is combined with ergonomics, technical requirements and respect for those who wear them.

Bevel designs their frames in the Midwest and has them meticulously handmade in Japan by specialized artisans. Bevel believes eyewear is not only a medical necessity that transcends all walks of life, but a statement accessory that defines personal style and self-esteem.

The RetroSpecs collection initially focused on the early modern gold-filled frames, circa 1890–1940s but it was soon apparent that if RetroSpecs was going to truly compete in the high-end optical and fashion world, the company needed to expand its offerings. The rimless gold-filled collections grew to over 100 custom designed shapes and sizes and they began the push to catalogue and restore RetroSpecs hugely popular combination and cellulose acetate frames manufactured after WWII from the 1940s-1980s.
