This month sees Tom Davies, champion of British luxury and bespoke design, launch his A/W Natural Horn Collection. Designed in London, the collection features 8 new spectacle styles and 4 new sunglasses, adding new shapes and designs to this unique made-to-order buffalo horn eyewear service. These rich, natural hues will tempt trend setters, as well as appealing to those who opt for fashion for it’s ethical values.
The new styles, including sophisticated pantos and traditional rectangular shapes, blend classic and contemporary styling. Hand craftsmanship and high-tech production techniques are brought together to achieve new innovations in the creation of horn eyewear.
The horn in Tom’s frames is from the non-endangered Asian water buffalo (similar to our common farmyard cow) and is a natural by-product collected when the locals make milk and leather from the buffalo.
Launched in January this year, Tom Davies Natural Horn is the first service for buffalo horn eyewear that allows the client to select the pieces of horn for their frame in consultation with the optician. This allows them to find colour tones and patterns which are perfectly suited to their complexion and style. The service includes the option to have matching cufflinks produced from the same pieces of natural horn as the frame. Each design is delivered in a personalized presentation box with a plate engraved with the customer’s name; an elegant finishing touch to suit Tom’s elegant designs.
