Booth & Bruce
Booth & Bruce eyewear was born in the 1990’s out of a desire to see an English brand deliver funky, fashionable frames to the more forward-thinking eyewear connoisseur. Since those initial collections, Booth & Bruce eyewear has grown into the globally recognized brand we know and love today, while keeping its roots firmly grounded in the ethos, and ideals that were there from the start. A collaboration of urban chic, and daring design, mixed with color schemes to push boundaries, Booth & Bruce continues to serve eyewear realness on a global scale.

Booth & Bruce deliver a potent combination of freewheeling urban adventure, and daring designs. These urban, electric glasses line, derives influences from alternative fashion, various subcultures and other quintessentially British phenomena for decades. These inspirations see the youth-orientated collection dominated by prescription glasses that are retro yet contemporary in their aesthetics.
Design & Craftsmanship

Their lead designer (and company owner) Peter Sunderland, puts personality into every frame, to create a wide range of styles attractive to both men and women.
