What happens when you place an order for a Bespoke Custom frame?

Upon receipt of your order, we conduct a comprehensive information gathering and analysis that drives our design process. A profile questionnaire is used to learn about your lifestyle, personality and tastes. Custom color charts and instruments are used to take detailed measurements of your face, skin tone, hair color and eye color. Photographs are taken of your face and we create a mold of your nose and carve the nose-pad sections of your frame to the contours of your nose.

How does Bespoke Custom Eyewear create your design?

When your information is received, we dig in for a detailed analysis of your physical features,    your eyewear history and requirements for your new eyewear. All of these factors affect the design process as we work to design bespoke glasses or bespoke sunglasses to make you look your very best and engineer a precision fit.

Once this analysis is completed, our team of artists and engineers create a series of preliminary designs in a two dimensional format.  Our design process shapes and sculpts each segment of the frame to enhance the look of your face. We start with classic shapes and subtly perfect the lines, the thicknesses and the size to frame your face as a work of art.

These “prelim designs” include different options, which are superimposed on one of your photos and a presentation is sent to you for your review and approval.  

This is a collaboration with you that usually involves design revisions, tweaks and iterations as together we review and discuss changes to create your perfect frame design.  While our highly skilled experts are constantly involved to consult and advise you during the process you are the final arbiter and you decide what your signature eyewear design will be.

Our Engineer will then create a Blueprint of your chosen design .  This Blueprint will be sent to you for your review and approval. 

Our Professional Colorist will then develop color recommendations for you based on your photos, color charts, and the information gathered about your wardrobe and color preferences. A new presentation of color recommendations is sent for your review and approval. 

Only when you have confirmed your step by step approvals of the final design, blueprint and color selection can we begin carving your bespoke eyewear frame.

Crafting your Bespoke Custom Frame

Once the detailed design process is complete and you have given your authorization to commence production, the creation of your bespoke frame begins. A block of the finest Italian cellulose acetate, an organic plastic made from wood and cotton, is selected, from which your bespoke frame is carved. This process is complicated, requires a great deal of hand crafting, and cannot be rushed. A bespoke design takes from six to ten weeks to complete from start to finish. Our Bespoke Custom Eyewear service can only be offered to a limited number of clients at any given time.

Your bespoke eyeglass or bespoke sunglass frame is then shipped to you in a protective case. All of your specifications, nose mold and measurements will be retained in our files so that you can easily make future orders for your signature design in different colors or for sunglasses.
