Here is Hazel our company secretary looking amazing in her beautiful pure Japanese titanium BLACKFIN - Titanium Eyewear frames!
We are very excited to let you know about a new range of frames we now stock!
The range is only available in a small amount of independent Opticians in the UK and Andrea Bocelli is a big fan as seen in the picture below. Also it has become our very own Dr Martin Smith's favourite brand - he already has 2 pairs!
BLACKFIN - Titanium Eyewear are carefully handcrafted and hand painted from start to finish in Italy. They are made from Japanese titanium and the paint used to finish them is made from the same manufacturers as the paint used on Ferrari's.
Look out also for us and Blackfin on the Front of the The Bailgate Independent magazine this month!
