Monc

Founded in 2016 by Freddie Elborne, MONC is an eyewear biz that puts as much emphasis on the craft as it does on the aesthetics of its glasses. The designs are inspired by creative districts around the world (there’s one called London Fields) and the frames are made from conscious materials, like bio-acetate and mineral glass, by craftspeople in Italy. The range is tightly curated but there’s plenty of choice across frame shapes and colours.
