We love Isson
















We have just received the latest collection from local (Sydney) designer Isson. It is a stunning new collection that builds on their collection from 2009.

It is a collection that takes risks with off-the-wall, but extremely flattering designs.

The collection show Catherine Federici's background in industrial design; showcasing function, fit and wearabilty whilst have that intangible emotion in the design that any wearer can relate to.

At Eyes of Claremont we think that this collection heralds a wonderful heritage for this great collection.

Congratulations Catherine, Marco and your team.

Dita the magnificent
















I have been a bad boy and not posted anything recently....so accept my humble apologies.


Just thought I'd put up some nice images of Dita handcrafted frames that we have here.

These are made in Japan in a factory that has only craftsman workers. They are finding it hard in the modern world to find young Japanese who want to learn these time honoured crafts. Thus this method of manufacture may be lost to the world in the future.

At Eyes of Claremont we hope that this never happens. We believe that Dita will be a heritage product that will be referenced by many in the future.

So as the ad says "taste the future"
