The Hunt
Posted by SHERIFF-DEEN SHOWOBI
There is something special about searching for vintage frames. The joy of the rummage, the thrill of finding something unexpected and the people we connect with along the way.
Every pair or Oscar Deen frames starts with a hunt for inspiration. We regularly visit markets and collectors across Europe. From Milan to Paris, Barcelona to Lisbon. At home in London is where we find the most though.
We dropped in on our favourite collector John Morris at his family run shop Kings Cross Eyes. Pull up s pew and let the big man take you on a journey.
John and his family are a font of frames, tea and info. Especially his daughter who can only be described as a glasses savant.
Sometimes we ask them to keep an eye out for things we've not managed to find. Never disappointed and forever grateful we named a style after them all.
