Love for Kirk Originals

You know I own a pair but I just love the concept behind Kirk Originals! The design, the colour and the thought behind every piece is just so fashion forward thinking.  They hosted a party tonight with Boo Hewerdine and Brooks Williams playing some classics, whilst we tried on all the frames.

Happy 20th Birthday Kirk Originals

My favorite eye-wear company, Kirk Originals, this year celebrate 20 years in the industry. From its early 1992 origins when Snap were singing 'Rhythm is a Dancer', Jason and Karen Kirk launched the brand from a basement flat in London. Inspired by the discovery of a collection of frames designed by Kirk Brothers (Sidney and Percy Kirk) in his father’s practice, Jason began selling these to the most fashionable London boutiques and, twenty years later, Kirk Originals have their own flagship store in London and sell in more than forty countries.

In celebration of this milestone Kirk Originals are set to launch two new styles to their already successful Beam and Sunbeam Collections. The new shapes are named Marius and Electra and will come in two new colourways – Sapphire and Ruby.

The Beam and Sunbeam collections are made entirely from acrylic and handmade in France from start to finish. An acrylic frame means the glasses can benefit from much brighter colourways and are much more hardwearing yet softer on the skin.  Here's to the next 20 years, and welcoming in your 40's Jason.

Kirk Originals celebrates 'Beam'

Last night saw Maketh-The-Man hit the party scene with our favourite eyewear brand, Kirk Originals, to celebrate the anniversary of their flagship London store.  As part of the fun times, Jason Kirk was also in attendance to showcase his new collection 'Beam'.

'To celebrate our 20th anniversary in 2012, we wanted to launch something really special.  'Beam is unique, combining technical advancement with aesthetic beauty and made entirely from acrylic.' Jason Kirk

Basically, they are shiny and available in multiple colours so like the magpies that we are at Maketh-The-Man, we just got to have some!  Which pair do you think we suited the most?

Magical spectacles with Kirk Originals

I have been looking for a pair of new glasses for sometime.  Basically, whilst driving my D&G's slipped off my face and out of the window.  They were gone forever, sad times!  So the hunt began for some new spectacles.

Well luckily for a modern day dandy, there is a great selection out there.  However, it wasn't until lately that we were introduced to Kirk Originals (Twitter - @kirkoriginals).  These quirky but cool eye accessories not only come in a variety of classic frames but they also have an array of fabulous colours.  The Kinetic collection includes lenticular images along the side of the frames, which produces a moving image whilst in different light. It's a little like magic, and we love them.

The clever chap behind Kirk's, Mr Jason Kirk, has just opened a flagship store in London, so go down and check it out.  As Jason says about the store, 'it provides  a unique experience and ensures everyone leaves with a pair of  Kirk Originals glasses that makes them look and feel fabulous’.
