This week, we’re thrilled to showcase something truly special: the Wallis frame by Walter & Herbert, an eyewear brand that embodies the essence of quintessential British design. Known for their timeless style, impeccable craftsmanship, and understated elegance, Walter & Herbert frames are a nod to tradition while embracing modern sensibilities—and the Wallis frame in Crystal is no exception.

Crafted from high-quality acetate, this full-rim unisex frame features a refined round panto shape and a keyhole bridge for added comfort. The transparent crystal finish gives the Wallis an effortlessly clean and minimalist aesthetic, allowing the shape to take centre stage while blending seamlessly with any look. Subtle yet striking, it’s a frame that manages to be both classic and contemporary.

What truly sets this pair apart, though, is the bespoke lens work we’ve done to bring it to life. Our client presented with a strong prescription—+10.00 and +9.75—but thanks to our technical expertise and access to industry-leading lens technology, we were able to create a beautifully balanced result without compromising on aesthetics.

We fitted the Wallis with DriveSafe Individual Progressive lenses, ideal for all-day wear but optimised for driving—making transitions from road to screen smooth and effortless. The anti-reflective coating features a subtle blue sheen, adding a modern touch that beautifully complements the crystal frame. The lenses are precisely thinned and shaped to maintain the integrity of the design while delivering outstanding optical performance.

To complete the look, we’ve added a custom sunclip with a specialised driving tint. Not only does this elevate the frame’s functionality, but it also adds a layer of style that transforms these everyday specs into an adaptable, fashion-forward accessory.

This pair is a perfect example of what we do best: combining style and substance, regardless of prescription strength. No matter how complex your prescription, we believe you shouldn’t have to compromise on aesthetics—and with the right expertise, you don’t have to.

The Wallis in Crystal by Walter & Herbert isn’t just a frame—it’s a testament to what’s possible when craftsmanship meets innovation. Bespoke eyewear, beautifully executed.
