Latest Eyewear Releases

Handcrafted eyewear from Sabae, Japan was the very first product we offered on Archibald. In late 2019, one of the main coordinators who managed the 16 different craftsmen across many workshops that produced each of our frames was involved in a car accident and required spinal surgery (and a prolonged recovery), and in 2021, we sadly lost our lead craftsman, Nishino, to Covid-19. Whilst this was taking place, we had a substantial restock order in play, which, owing to these issues, we are yet to receive delivery of.

Since November of last year, our production coordinator has returned, working to recover both his business and deliver the outstanding pieces due to Archibald, resuming our eyewear operation. Part of our production order included new colourways for some of our most popular styles, and these were prepared a little while ago with our intention to launch them alongside the remaining items when they arrived. Together, we have decided to release these first.

Over 200 manual processes completed by 16 different craftsmen, each specialising in a particular technique — these were the products that first showed us what true quality and craft look like.

As with all our eyewear, each pair is available with a series of prescription or sunglasses lens options in a range of colours — for the sake of display we have listed each with clear lenses to reflect as eyewear and with one of the three lens colours we offer in the sunglasses offering. Ships to the United Kingdom. Free returns.
