Robin
Our eyewear is handcrafted by skilled artisans in our Edinburgh based workshop. This frame is ‘made to order’ and takes 4 weeks crafting and delivery time.
Named after Robin Hood's Bay, a historic fishing village located in the heart of the North York Moors National Park. The fisherman of Robin Hood's Bay used hemp in their fishing nets. Historically around 1000AD most fishing nets in the UK were made from hemp and nettle fibre.
Robin is our classic rectangular style frame.
