SPRING / SUMMER 2016 Kirk Originals frames are conceived in our Studio and Workshops in London and crafted by hand in our factories in the Jura Mountains in France. Each frame is designed and prototyped by hand to ensure that the silhouette and fit is perfected before moving into production. At this stage each frame is cut, assembled and polished by our craftsmen to retain the distinctive characteristics of a hand made product. For 2016 our frames have been designed to reflect our classic British heritage and offer strong simple architectural outlines referencing iconic eyewear of the 1960s and 70s All frames are fabricated from premium Italian acetates and are fitted with CR39 Italian lenses with Anti Reflective coatings and premium barrel pinned hinges.
