Two eyes good, four eyes better
Spectacles
Your eyes are magnificent. Dress them accordingly. Spectacles made for advanced vision and better living, to suit a range of tastes and a range of heads. From Extra Small to Extra Large, with fits fine-tuned for a heterogenous range of noses. Including ZEISS precision lenses as standard.
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.
Sunglasses
Some see the world in black and white. You, however, demand a broader spectrum. Cubitts sunglasses feature ZEISS precision lenses in a range of tinted hues, featuring full UVA and UVB protection, with and without prescription.
Collier and Coley
A polished pair, based on the aviator’s underappreciated cousin ‘the navigator’. Collier, with the distinctive browline ‘cross bar’ that defines the pilot frame. And Coley, a more traditional square, a bit sporty, a bit seventies, with a glint around the eye. Both are made of stern stuff (316L stainless steel, to be precise).

London and a history of spectacle making
London is a city steeped in the history of spectacle design. From the earliest pair of spectacles ever discovered—the 15th century ‘Trig Lane’ bone spectacles—to Cubitts’ ‘Frame for London’, composed of detritus gathered ‘mudlarking’ along the river Thames, including Tudor hair pins, a WW2 bullet, and – like their mediaeval forebears – animal bones.
A decade of spectacle obsession
A decade ago, we started with a very loose idea of building a spectacles company for people who want to wear spectacles. Over ten years later, and we’ve never been more excited about the future of spectacle making.
Cubitts — ZEISS
Cubitts spectacles are fitted with ZEISS ClearView lenses, including ZEISS DuraVision® coatings as standard. Up to 49% flatter, and 16% thinner than a standard lens, they're among the highest quality available. Always including antistatic, hydrophobic, scratch resident, anti-reflective, and ultraviolet protection.
Cubitts — Niwaki
We worked with Niwaki, makers of fine Japanese tools, to produce a spectacle frame designed to withstand the rigours of horticulture. Our first garden tool.
Artist-designed cloths
Our spectacle cleaning cloths are pocket-sized artworks, designed in collaboration with a new artist every six months. All proceeds go to charity.
