EYES on St Albans is officially the first stockist in the world to showcase the complete new collection from Ransome & Jenkin – and we’re a little bit excited about it.
The new collection has arrived in Marshalswick before anywhere else and brings a beautifully understated style to the EYES eyewear collections.
Designed with British character and handcrafted in the Dolomites in Italy, Ransome & Jenkin frames are all about detail, quality and feel. And yes – eyewear really does feel different when it’s made exceptionally well.
From the balance of the acetate to the polish of the finish and the movement of the hinges, premium eyewear has a tactile quality that’s difficult to explain until you try it on for yourself.
That’s exactly what stood out to Jez and the team at EYES.
“We can normally tell very quickly when a collection has been properly crafted,” says Jez Levy. “Ransome & Jenkin immediately felt special. The quality is obvious in your hands before you even look in the mirror.”
The collection offers a quieter kind of confidence compared to some of the louder, colour-pop collections at EYES. Refined shapes, subtle luxury and beautifully balanced styling make these frames ideal for people who want individuality without shouting about it.
And while the frames may be understated, the achievement certainly isn’t.
Being chosen as the first complete stockist worldwide is a huge moment both for EYES on St Albans and for independent eyewear in Hertfordshire.
It’s also another reminder that independent opticians often discover exciting collections long before the multiples do.
So if you fancy seeing a collection that literally hasn’t fully landed anywhere else yet, pop into EYES on St Albans and take a look.
You might just discover your next favourite frame before the rest of the world catches up.
