### My top 3
1. Cutler & Gross - best overall for luxury
A genuine British eyewear institution, founded in London in 1969. Its frames are now crafted in Italy and Japan, with a strong emphasis on distinctive shapes and craftsmanship. www.cutlerandgross.com
2. Cubitts - best value / everyday British style
Probably my recommendation if you want something that feels British and sophisticated without going crazy on price. Its frames use materials including Mazzucchelli acetate and surgical-grade steel, and many optical frames are around the £150 mark. www.independent.co.uk
3. Oliver Goldsmith - best vintage character
Excellent if you like classic 1950s-70s shapes, thicker acetate and a distinctive retro look. It's one of the names most strongly associated with British eyewear heritage. www.eurooptica.com
If I were buying one pair:
- £150-£250: Cubitts
- £250-£400: Oliver Goldsmith
- £350+: Cutler & Gross
- Want something unusual/bold: Kirk & Kirk
- Want genuinely bespoke: Tom Davies
If you tell me your budget (£150, £250, £400, etc.) and whether you're after men's, women's or unisex, I can search the current collections and pick 5 specific frames worth buying.
