Think of tailoring a suit. Now think glasses. Something you wear every day. They should be as customized as a tailored suit.
At Optique in Winnetka, Dr. Michael Harms is introducing his patients to Tom Davies bespoke eyewear. This bold new direction allows his expert stylists to create handmade glasses for each individual.
The bespoke experience
“This is how the world sees you and how you see the world. So why compromise?” asks London-based eyewear designer Tom Davies, the founder of TD Tom Davies. “One size does not fit all.”
Each patient starts the bespoke experience with a personalized consultation. It is here that comfort, style, and the individual personality of our client are established.
“Our experts help you select the best style for your natural features,” says Dr. Harms. “Then we ask ourselves how can we make this better? We take specific measurements to ensure that the frame is balanced and fits you.”
Handcrafted
Once all the details have been submitted to the design team in London, each frame is handcrafted using the finest materials during hours of close, detailed work by dedicated experts. You receive weekly emails and photos showing the creative process. And our work is guaranteed to please. We emphasize follow-up consultation and adjustments to make sure you are happy with the results.
One-of-a-kind
“Whether it is bright red or tortoise, we can make it,” says Dr. Harms. “And the materials create striking effects — such as Buffalo horn, which comes from natural sources and is a sustainable, farmed product. It is completely hypoallergenic and 35 percent lighter than acetate, a natural choice that’s kinder to your skin.”
With bespoke, you can bring out your own creativity with a wide range of colors and options. In essence, your glasses become a work of art with perfect styling fitted uniquely to you.
And it is truly yours. As a final touch, all bespoke frames are elegantly finished with the customer’s name engraved discreetly on the inside of the temple arm.
