2024 O-Show Recap

It’s been a week since the O-Show trade optical fair in Sydney and I am still on a high from catching up with loads of our beautiful stockists.

We had an exciting 6 new models to launch at the event - The Beach and The Nile which came out early this month. People found a sprinkle of OG Jonathan Sceats in The Nile and I must admit, there is definitely a mine of inspiration with Jonathan’s archive!

Models coming in a couple of weeks are all new colours in The Sharp, including a second run of Fire Opal that features on our marketing material, and a new model called The Bright. She is inspired by The Light, just a little smaller, with a more modern profile and deliciously chunky sides. Check out the colour combination on colour Fly High - the opaque red on white mother of pearl is stunning, and is sure to be replicated on future frames all over.

2022 is starting with a colour explosion at Miss Lou!

We are so excited to share with you the three latest Miss Lou models:

The Palms - a perfectly balanced round frame in a riot of colour - this frame is not for the faint of heart!

The Gram - a quirky angled little number - The Gram is for the sophisti-cat out there.

The Light - grab the spotlight with this bold square frame - I adore the Brick in the Wall pattern on this frame - 1980's anyone?

Teiger will be photographing all the new frames tomorrow - a total of 18 pieces to add to our happy collection!

Don't forget, these are all limited edition pieces - the plain or duo colours are all limited to 40 pieces worldwide, and the fabric models are 75 pieces worldwide. When they are are gone, they are gone!

How I design a new fabric pattern...

I love designing and drawing - I always have. To have this opportunity now, to create fabric designs, then frame designs, then website design - this is all a dream come true. To be able to do it with my family is an even greater gift. To only work with unique, independent optical practices is incredibly special.

I thought you might like to see the process of creating a new pattern - this one is called AUSTRANOSTALGIA - inspired by growing up in Western Australia.
