Although its inspiration is taken from the swinging sixties, the story of London Retro begins in 2011 when it became the first brand exclusive to Glasses Direct. Since then, it has been delving into London’s vibrant past and retelling the city’s story in its own words by revitalising classic eyewear looks with stunning modern twists.
Shaped by the culture of the city, each piece absorbs some of London’s spirit. And you take a part of it too when you discover something you love in our London Retro range.
And to the urban authenticity seekers – those who enjoy the finer things in life – we bring intricately crafted frames made from high-quality materials. Whether it’s metal or acetate, or a combination of the two, each piece is made with specific attention to detail so that they pay homage to the classics whilst remaining refreshingly modern.
