Every Cubitts frame is handcrafted in a Cubitts workshop from carefully chosen components, and fitted with the finest ZEISS lenses as standard.

1. Constructed with custom Cubitts pins that secure through the acetate. This is called 'pin drilling' and means a frame can be serviced and repaired.

2. Screws from OBE are fitted with miniature silicone bands, to preserve the thread and last longer.

3. The custom Cubitts wire core, a slender piece of metal inserted into the temple to make the frame adjustable.

4. Teflon-coated structural hinges from OBE, with between three and seven charnieres, provide a structural bond between front and temple.

5. The Cubitts logo is carefully inlaid on the inner temple, to avoid unnecessary external adornment.

6. Our workshop can replace existing acetate nose pads with deeper adjustable custom nose pads if required.

7. Cellulose acetate, derived from natural cotton and wood fibres, made by Mazzuchelli (Italy) and Takiron (Japan).

8. Fitted with the highest quality ZEISS ClearView lenses, including DuraVision® coatings as standard.

9. Every acetate frame is constructed with a mitred (angled) joint between front and temple, which can be filed back for a better fit.

10. Clip-ons transform spectacles into sunglasses, with bespoke 'flip-clips' also available.

Each frame goes through fifty crafted stages of production over a period of six weeks.

 

Cubitts was founded in King’s Cross, London, in 2013, with the belief that spectacles should be loved, not tolerated. Wanted, not needed. That poor eyesight is a blessing, not a curse.

Our mission is to modernise the three century old spectacles industry, combining innovative technology with traditional craftsmanship, and a meticulous attention to detail. We make spectacles and sunglasses designed to outlive the wearer. With carefully chosen materials, state-of- the-art lenses, and an array of services to keep frames in fine fettle.

Cubitts was named after three brothers. Engineers and architects, they made buildings people loved. The youngest brother was called Lewis. Among newly arrived fountains and brunch spots, his wrought iron rivets still punctuate the King’s Cross ground.

You’ll find that same rivet in the corner of a Cubitts frame, a structural bond that holds the spectacles together. Like Lewis, we use it only where it serves a purpose. The humble rivet. More than a logo, it’s the keystone and foundation of Cubitts.
