Every Cubitts frame is handcrafted in a Cubitts workshop from carefully chosen components, and fitted with the finest ZEISS lenses as standard.

Fig 1. Constructed with custom Cubitts pins that secure through the acetate. This is called 'pin drilling' and means a frame can be serviced and repaired.

Fig 2. Screws from OBE are fitted with miniature silicone bands, to preserve the thread and last longer.

Fig 3. The custom Cubitts wire core, a slender piece of metal inserted into the temple to make the frame adjustable.

Fig 4. Teflon-coated structural hinges from OBE, with between three and seven charnieres, provide a structural bond between front and temple.

Fig 5. The Cubitts logo is carefully inlaid on the inner temple, to avoid unnecessary external adornment.

Fig 6. Our workshop can replace existing acetate nose pads with deeper adjustable custom nose pads if required.

Fig 7. Cellulose acetate, derived from natural cotton and wood fibres, made by Mazzuchelli (Italy) and Takiron (Japan).

Fig 8. Fitted with the highest quality ZEISS ClearView lenses, including DuraVision® coatings as standard.

Fig 9. Every acetate frame is constructed with a mitred (angled) joint between front and temple, which can be filed back for a better fit.

Fig 10. Clip-ons transform spectacles into sunglasses, with bespoke 'flip-clips' also available.

Each frame goes through fifty crafted stages of production over a period of six weeks. Learn more.
