Meridian Small · Coral
Pip

From$115
Frame only — lenses and coatings are priced separately.
One of four house collections
Meridian Small
Children's frames that survive being a child's.
Flexible nylon that bends a long way before it breaks, rounded edges, spring hinges, and no metal against the skin. Sized properly rather than scaled down from an adult frame, because a frame that sits wrong on a child is a frame whose lens is not in front of the eye, and in a child that matters more than in an adult.
Every Meridian Small frame
Five frames, from $115 to $125 for the frame alone.

Quill
The one older children choose when they want to look grown up.

The other collections
Hand-finished acetate, classic shapes.
Verity
Cut from Italian acetate sheet and tumbled for three days until the edges go soft, which is the part that makes an acetate frame feel expensive and is the part nobody can see. Shapes that were correct forty years ago and will be correct in forty more.
Titanium, as little of it as the frame will stand.
Larkspur
For people who want to forget they are wearing anything. Titanium takes a much thinner section than steel at the same strength, so a Larkspur weighs about as much as a letter and does not corrode against skin. It is the collection we fit most often to somebody who has been told they cannot wear metal.
Bigger, bolder, and meant to be noticed.
Foundry No. 9
Heavier sections, stronger colour, and shapes with corners in them. A frame is the only thing most people wear every day without choosing it deliberately, and this collection is for the ones who would like to choose it deliberately.

No cart, no checkout, on purpose. This is a catalogue and not a shop. There is nothing to add to a basket and no checkout, because nobody should buy spectacles without a current prescription and a face measurement. Everything here can be looked at on the wall without an appointment.
