Eyewear plays a subtle but powerful role in character development. It must feel authentic to period and personality while remaining comfortable, stable, and visually coherent on camera or stage.

We approach each project with care and sensitivity, working alongside costume departments to ensure eyewear enhances character without drawing unnecessary attention to itself.

Sourcing, vintage expertise & bespoke modification

We maintain an extensive catalogue of original eyewear spanning the 1800s through to the early 2000s, alongside a carefully curated selection of contemporary frames. This archive allows us to support productions across a wide range of periods, genres, and visual styles.

We are experienced in period and vintage eyewear, and skilled in guiding costume designers and buyers toward pieces that feel appropriate, believable, and resolved for their production.

Where required, we can:

• Source original vintage frames

• Adapt existing eyewear for fit, comfort, or visual accuracy

• Recreate or modify frames to suit character, face shape, or period reference

• Produce bespoke pieces when no suitable existing option exists

All alterations are carried out with attention to structural integrity, comfort, and extended wear.

Lenses, reflection & performance

We offer non-prescription lenses for screen use, including anti-reflective and low-visibility options designed to minimise reflections under studio lighting and on camera.

Where required, we can also fit actors’ prescriptions into selected frames, balancing visual clarity with the aesthetic and technical demands of the production.

Our experience with specialist and technical lenses allows us to resolve practical challenges discreetly, ensuring eyewear performs as intended without drawing attention to itself.

Turnaround can be rapid where necessary, and we are accustomed to working to tight production schedules while maintaining a considered finish.

Practical considerations & on-set reality

Comfort, stability, and consistency are essential. We consider how frames will sit and move on the face, how they behave under lighting, and how they perform across repeated takes or performances.

Adjustments and refinements are made with close attention to balance and proportion, ensuring eyewear remains visually coherent and practical throughout filming or stage use.

Collaboration & discretion

We value clear communication and a discreet, supportive approach. Our role is to work quietly and reliably alongside costume departments, allowing eyewear to enhance character without distraction.

From initial sourcing through to final fitting and adjustments, we offer a dependable service grounded in experience, sensitivity, and trust.
