Barkers is a modern, recognisible brand and their eyewear says it all!
The main characteristics of these acetate frames are their strength and durability and that they are made from renewable resources such as cotton and wood fibres.
The metal frames in the Barkers Eyewear collections are produced using high quality stainless steel. This is a hard wearing and durable material that is also lightweight and provides excellent resistance to corrosion, abrasion and heat.
Japanese titanium, Italian talent.
It all starts with a titanium slab. But not any old titanium - it has to be the purest in the world.
Faced with a slab of titanium most people just see the metal, but the team at Blackfin can glimpse the soul of their eyewear. Blackfin want to create the best titanium frames, therefore there can be no compromise on quality.
Titanium is the heart around which they build their products. It is a truly special material with unique features, suitable for the realization of optical frames. A frame made of titanium is 48% lighter than a similar one made of the more common nickel / silver. The high mechanic performance, together with the lightness, make titanium the material with the best mechanical strength / weight ratio.
Face à Face frames are hand made in France.
Face à Face glasses grew out of a passion for architecture shared by a small group of eyewear enthusiasts. The creator of the original concept behind the collection dreamt of giving eyewear the power to reflect the character of the person wearing it. Face à Face was designed to reveal the sense of the modern that's in all of us. They felt that nothing could reflect the look that makes each of us what we are, better than our own eyes.
Like an architect, Face à Face works with volumes, shapes, materials, colours and textures to give its glasses the power to express the personality of their wearer, whether that be bold, carefree, energetic, independent or even seductive. Each new collection is preceded by a research and design stage, resulting in new styles enhanced by innovative concepts and incorporating the latest in fashion.
Legendary comfort, implicit power and exclusive style.
Traditionally the name JAGUAR conveys luxury and elegance, superior quality and exclusiveness. In the spirit of these statements the optical frames of the Jaguar collection combine exceptional design with professional workmanship and stylish luxury.
