Tom Davies Bespoke eyewear is created by master craftsmen who must complete ten years of training before working at Tom Davies. All frames are handcrafted, and each frame takes between 16 and 22 hours of handwork; more than half of the frames created by Tom Davies craftsmen are bespoke. But what does ‘bespoke’ really mean?
The dictionary definition of ‘bespoke’ is “dealing in or producing custom-made articles”. Any item designed and created just for you is a ‘bespoke’ article; in fashion you often hear about ‘bespoke’ suits and shoes, for men in particular.
Tom Davies bespoke frames take between 16 and 22 hours of detailed work to complete. Tom Davies master craftsmen execute flawless quality, and the highest level in craftsmanship, using precise measurements and photographs to complete your frames to exacting specifications, right down to your name engraved discreetly inside the temple arm.
A staff favorite here at Eye Elegance, we’re always on the lookout for what’s new from Tom Davies. We are still thinking about the new limited edition Silver 925 Collection we saw at Vision Expo West last fall. The collection featured an eye-catching (pardon the pun) selection of sunglasses in solid sterling silver and buffalo horn, with an ophthalmic frame. Eye Elegance manager/frame buyer Nicholas Protz counts Tom Davies among his extensive eyewear wardrobe.
