Lots of things. Usually places; beautiful architecture found in cities and rural landscapes.
“Treat everyone like you would your Grandma.” Not always easy, especially on tough days and with tough people, but it’s advice I’ve never regretted following.
Ledbury because I love the combination of a square aviator and that it's crafted from acetate rather than metal.


Personally, it would be my family. Business-wise, it would be creating products that people love and enjoy.
How is it almost the end of 2023?! Lots of fun events in the lead-up to Christmas, finalizing some exciting collaborations for Q1 next year, and preparing for the launch of our Spring/Summer 2024 collection.

That’s a tough one! I'd say Marshall because it’s an alternative take on a classic shape. I love the architectural detailing across the top of the frame.
