Eyeglasses
Your eyes are magnificent, dress them accordingly. Cubitts make eyeglasses (or as we call them, spectacles) for advanced vision and better living. With sizes from Extra Small to Extra Large, and fits fine-tuned for a heterogenous range of beautiful noses.
ZEISS lenses
Every pair of Cubitts spectacles can be fitted with precision lenses from ZEISS, one of the world’s leading names in optics. Available across single vision, progressive and higher-index prescriptions, with advanced coatings for clarity, durability and everyday comfort. Cut and fitted to your frame and prescription, because good spectacles are only as good as the lenses you look through.
Sunglasses
Some see the world in black and white - you, however, demand a broader spectrum. Cubitts sunglasses feature ZEISS lenses in a range of tinted colours, featuring full UVA and UVB protection, with and without prescription.
Accessories
Tools to keep your frame in fine fettle. Including clip-on sunglasses for the sun's fickle glow, the ultra-lightweight Cubitts aluminium case, the compact vegetable tan leather 'REDUX case', and cleaning cloths featuring work by artists including David Shrigley, Tracey Emin, and Grayson Perry. Practical, well made, and occasionally rather beautiful.
Titanium spectacles
Exceptionally light. Exceptionally strong. Our titanium spectacles are made from 99.7% pure titanium and weigh around 5 grams without lenses. Hypoallergenic, corrosion resistant and fitted with adjustable titanium nose pads, they combine fine proportions with surprising durability. Made for all-day wear, and made to last.
Acetate spectacles
Highest quality frames, made from the finest materials, include cellulose acetate from Mazzuchelli and Takiron, custom hardware from OBE, and available in multiple sizes and fits.
Featherweight spectacles
All the character of acetate, with considerably less of it. Featherweight frames weigh just 8 grams, combining ultra-high-density Mazzucchelli acetate fronts with slender beta titanium temples. Light, strong and deliberately minimal, with ion-plated metalwork designed for a longer life. For people who would rather forget they are wearing spectacles.
Raw Edge edition
Spectacles with the making left in. Raw Edge exposes the marks of the CNC process rather than polishing them away, revealing something of the 50-plus stages behind every Cubitts frame.
Cubitts was founded in London, the historic home of spectacle making, where frames have been made for almost 300 years. Our signature rivet is part of that philosophy: small, visible and structural.

Limited-edition sunglasses
The spirit of 1980s New York—its energy, excess, and allure—lives on in a new, limited-edition collection of sunglasses exclusive to Cubitts, West Village. Twenty-five exclusive frames, each named after a hallowed site of merrymaking, pay homage to a decade that defined audacity.
Artist-designed cloths
A small piece of art for the small ritual of looking after your spectacles. Our cleaning cloths are designed with a new artist every six months, with all proceeds going to charity.
New York in the frame
An experimental colleciton of seven one-off spectacle frames, designed with an admiration for New York’s places and faces. From the Mudd Club to Studio 54, and the Flatiron to the Guggenheim. Handmade in the Cubitts King’s Cross workshop.
