Ethical luxury
Frames
Silhouette’s new Atelier Next collection aims to “redefine responsible luxury” through the use of sustainable materials.
Silhouette Gold contains a 23K gold blend made using recycled gold with ruthenium, while the brand’s leather material is plant-based and carbon-neutral, made from corn.
The minimalist Aura Collection features 23K gold-plate and 3D accents, while the Radiance Collection pairs vegan leather with 23K gold-plated titanium and black ‘colour-groove’ lenses.
The Lumiere Collection features lab-grown diamonds and 18K recycled gold. The diamonds are carbon neutral with zero waste, cruelty-free, and grown from a seed and fed with carbon vapours. Each diamond is personally selected and placed by hand.
The ‘Limited Edition Sunshade’ has a 23K gold-plated 3D printed titanium frame. Inspired by Himalayan expeditions, only 250 pieces have been printed for this limited run. To create the model, titanium dust is fused with lasers, building each frame layer by layer with no waste.

Eye wand
Dry eye
Positive Impact has launched the Peep Club Heated Eye Wand LED+, which builds on the success of its Heated Eye Wand PRO model.
The tool has been developed in collaboration with UK optometrists and shaped by feedback from users of the Heated Eye Wand.
The LED+ retains three of the core modes: temperature-controlled hot compress, gentle massage, and red LED light, and introduces two new LED light modes – green and amber.
The company highlighted that in clinical studies, amber and green LED wavelengths have been shown to reduce inflammation, calm sensitised skin around the eyes, particularly for conditions like ocular rosacea, and to help diminish dark circles caused by damaged blood vessels or melasma.

A touch of Baroque
Sunglasses
Mondottica has launched the Vivienne Westwood 2025 Sun Collection with references to vintage styles and Baroque inspirations.
Classic shapes in the collection take inspiration from 50s and 60s photo booth imagery, with bespoke detailing on metal work and hinges, and pearls providing an added detail.
The Vivienne Westwood orb is found in frames throughout the collection.
Inspired by the Westwood ‘Horns’ headwear, the ‘Soo’s’ frame is embellished with Swarovski crystals, while the ‘Sunday’ is oversized and displays an imprint of a Baroque painting by Francois Boucher.
The handmade acetate frames and temple tips are made from Eastman’s Acetate Renew material, made from 60% bio-based and 40% recycled content. The packaging has also been considered with a recycled by-product leather case, organic cotton bag, and recycled polyester cloth.

Point-of-sale
Eyespace has launched a new point-of-sale kit for Cocoa Mint, designed to enhance the in-store presentation of the frames.
The new kit comprises a modular set of branded display blocks, with multiple configuration options to suit different spaces. This enables multiple placements in windows and practice environments.
Counter cards depicting Cocoa Mint’s ‘relaxed glamour’ look add a level of brand storytelling.
The new kit follows a new line of product launches, with the ‘Studio’ sub-collection centre stage, featuring geometric silhouettes, laminations and sculpting.
A standout piece is the ‘CM9184,’ which features an oversized rounded shape in a marmalade tortoiseshell colourway, with sculpted laminate layers in a red and blue fusion at the lugs and inner tips.
A second colourway taps into the monochrome trend, with a sky-blue acetate accented with colour-block laminations in cerulean and plum.

Simple sophistication
Stepper Eyewear has unveiled the Stepper Origin ‘SI-20151,’ a frame showcasing sophistication in simplicity.
Made from TX5, the frame weighs 9.08 grams, offering a lightweight durability.
A ‘multi-face’ print process has been used for the lens, through which a subtle pattern is applied over a clear base, with layered printing on both the front and reverse surfaces of the frame. As the light moves, the dual-layered print shifts, creating a dynamic texture.
The frame is available in a 56-16-140 sizing.
Bamboo illusions
Marchon has presented two new sun frames from the Longchamp spring-summer 2025 eyewear collection.
Both frames include a Roseau Bamboo metal detail – an icon of the brand – in order to create the illusion of floating temples.
The ‘LO776S,’ features a bold rectangular front and is available in four colours: black, rose havana, brown green havana, and blue havana.
The ‘LO775S’ is an oversized butterfly shape and is available in black, striped grey, rose, and rose havana.
