Our partners

We curate with you

After nearly a decade doing this, we know which frames sell. We'll recommend a starter selection, but you make the final call.

Worn anywhere

Layered and pressed for strength. Real wood, spring hinges, polarised lenses. Comfortable enough to forget.

Where the journey began.

Slipped on at sundowner. Worn on the flight home. Wherever they go next, they'll remember where it all started.

Anything else we should know?

Before you apply

Nine or eighteen pairs to start — enough to give the collection real presence at your property, small enough to trial without committing to a room full of stock. After your first order, there's no minimum on reorders.

Healthy margins that leave room for a strong retail markup. We share full pricing once your application is reviewed — it varies slightly by region and volume, and we'd rather have a real conversation than send a generic sheet.

Not usually. We've found firm orders work better for both sides — you commit to what you know will sell, we keep the operation simple, and nobody's chasing paperwork every month. Exceptions exist for long-standing partners.

Yes. First property in a region to stock a design holds it exclusively for the season. Reorder to keep it. This is why we're selective about who we work with — the model only works if the properties around you don't have the same pair.

Two to three weeks from confirmed order, delivered to your head office. East African partners usually receive theirs sooner, from our Nairobi base.

Yes, for larger orders. It's usually a conversation for partners already stocking us. Get in touch and we'll walk you through what's possible.
