Curry & Paxton

Curry & Paxton’s a brand that can legitimately claim to be trendsetting – they were one of the first eyewear brands in the UK, and have been in the industry since 1876. Today, their sunglasses and glasses are modern and well-made, using the techniques they’ve honed over their 140 years in business.

The Yvan Optical Frames in Dark Tortoiseshell are a pair of tortoiseshell acetate eye glasses with a vintage-inspired look. They’re crafted with care from natural cellulose acetate – a material derived from natural resources and known for its strength, glossiness and natural feel. Look familiar? They're the same style worn by Michael Caine in The Italian Job. And The Curry & Paxton three-dot logo symbolises their style and quality.

All Curry & Paxton's eyewear is still made in London today. 

Curry & Paxton was originally founded in 1876 by Joseph Pickard and William Curry, under the name Pickard & Curry. They first specialised in ophthalmic instruments – creating pieces for royalty and physicians – before moving on to eyewear.

Curry & Paxton's pieces are handmade where possible.
