Written by the company

We are a British Eyewear brand originally established in London, England, 1886. For more than a century we were at the forefront of Ophthalmic innovation. We were awarded a Royal Warrant in 1942 and were the first British Optical business to work with the newly formed National Health Service in 1948. In 1965 our frames became part of British pop culture history when worn by British actor Michael Caine in the Len Deighton spy thriller, The Ipcress File. Caine continued to patronise our Yvan frame throughout the 60's & 70's. Today, our eyewear is handmade in East London, in small batches, by skilled artisans using the finest quality materials available. From £195.00, our frames are crafted to be worn a lifetime, classic, timeless and enduring quality

High Quality

My order consisted of a pair of Yvan Piano Black spectacles and are certainly of a high quality.

The ordering process was straight forward and easy to navigate.

The price compared to the craftsmanship that has gone into my order is in my opinion a fair one.

Dispatch time was reasonable and the packaging is as high end as the eyewear itself.

I’m highly satisfied and wholeheartedly recommend Curry and Paxton .

From start to finish

From start to finish, the experience with my Curry & Paxton Majestic Optical eyeglasses was outstanding. The initial support was responsive and informative, making the selection process easy and confident.

The fitment was perfect right out of the box—comfortable, precise, and clearly well-guided. The quality and craftsmanship are exceptional, and the style strikes a great balance between classic and distinctive.

Overall, a seamless five-star experience with premium results. Highly recommended.

Beautifully crafted products

This brand is so elevated . My sunglasses are the most amazing quality.
The classic sunglass is a unisex item that I’m always being complemented on.

The service was top notch! Highly recommended

Exceptional quality

The quality of these glasses is excellent. Materials. Build. Craftsmanship. I particularly like the lenses. They make things seems brighter but at the same time remove all the harsh glare of the sun.

Love these sunglasses

Love these sunglasses, look and feel top quality. Also love the retro image with lineage back to the 60’s icons.
Looking forward more sunny days.
Also the delivery times were quick.

Second pair of Yvans…

My third pair of frames from Curry & Paxton (for myself, I bought two pairs of sunglasses as presents too) and an absolute bargain in the sale! I already had a pair of Yvans, but always fancied another pair as sunglasses, so jumped at the chance to get them cheap!
Delivered in a couple of days as usual, great quality and style.

British at it’s best

Recently brought some Yvan sunglasses and I’m really happy with them. Look and feel top quality.
I emailed with a couple of questions and got a really quick response. The customer service has been perfect.

Quality

This is my 6th pair of sunglasses from Curry&Paxton and i cannot give them enough praise.
The quality of the glasses are second to none.
The customer service is top notch.
Had a delivery problem with my last pair being delivered in Australia but one email to Lucy and it was sorted.
Highly recommended.

I recently bought Curry and Paxton…

I recently bought Curry and Paxton spectacles for the first time...I went initially for the Yvan in Dark Tortoieshell. I can highly recommend the service provided by the company. Both Lucy who kindly assisted with my purchase and Brooke on frame size advice have been excellent. The Home Try On option was very helpful in helping with my decision and meant I could have a facetime discussion with Brooke. So...altogether a very happy customer...so much so I've bought additional Yvan frames in Piano Black and the lighter tortoiseshell. A great company offering a bespoke service as wells as value for money!

Very poor customer service so far

Poor customer service so far. I bought a pair of Yvan frames where the detailed description clearly stated 149mm size. Received frames that are clearly smaller and marked 145mm. Emailed several times. No response. When I managed to get through on the phone I was told a colleague was looking into my query and could I help by sending photos of the incorrect frames. I duly did that. This was early Thursday. I’ve heard nothing for days. Now no response on the phone. It’s the work of minutes to confirm that the wrong size was sent and to offer a solution, even a returns label. What’s the delay for?

Rather disappointing.

No shop or stockists so, following my enquiry, I was emailed their 'try at home' service, and that was the start and end of communication. Frustrating as I was all but ready to buy. Other british manufacturers are available so I go elsewhere. Rather disappointing.

Disappointing service

I wanted to try on the Yvan frames but the shop was closed and being relocated, so I was offered try at home and sent a payment link. The link didn’t work and after contacting them, another link was sent which also didn’t work. I emailed twice without receiving a response and subsequently went elsewhere to purchase some glasses. Over a week later, they emailed another link and I told them I had made a purchase elsewhere. Not even a reply. Poor service and they lost a sale. Disappointed because it’s good to support British companies.
