How we make our frames
Our focus is delivering the best value for money in the world.
Our focus is delivering the best value for money in the world.
Is to create beautiful, modern and iconic products made with the best and most responsible materials that never go out of style. By overseeing every step of the process, we ensure that we only ever produce products that we'd be proud to show our friends and family.
Our design team is based in Sydney, where our team puts together mood boards for inspiration, sketches initial designs, and maps our product details for prototyping.
By drawing inspiration from current trends and bygone eras, their design vision intuitively honours the past whilst provoking the future.
Although we're obsessive about making beautiful products, function always comes before fashion. From custom-designed cellulose acetate to ultra-lightweight titanium, we use nothing but premium materials for our frames.
Acetate is a natural cotton that is comfortable but also very malleable, ideal for heating and cooling to get the perfect fit. We source our acetate from world class suppliers including a renowned company with over 150 years of experience in producing premium quality acetate.
We always use the highest hinge-barrel count a frame will allow to add strength and to ensure your frames last their longest life with you.
Designed in Australia, our custom wire cores feature our BN wordmark, face shape engravings or wave pattern, giving a nod to our coastal roots.
After our acetate is cut into frame fronts using a high-tech CNC machine, it’s tumbled with wood chips and polished for seven days.
Our frame fronts and arms are then attached together via high quality hinges to allow for smoother movement and functionality over a longe period of time. Our frames are then carefully assembled and sent through a series of quality checks.
We custom-cut your lenses, and treat them with anti-reflective and scratch-resistant coatings to ensure strength, clarity and comfort.
By going direct from design to manufacture and ultimately into your hands, we cut our cost margin down in comparison to industry standards. We make sure you get what you pay for and more so that you leave with a smile from eye to eye.
