Some things take years… and then one day they’re real.

14 years ago, when I first moved to Sydney, I used to walk past iiiii’s Optometrist and look into that window thinking, one day my frames will sit in there.
That quiet thought turned into a goal… and now it’s happened.

My frames are officially on display in their space.

You can head in and see Maria and Riad, who are now stocking a curated mix of pieces — from my full acetate frames through to acetate + wood combinations, along with one of the standout Desert Reverie pieces sitting proudly in the collection.

This one feels different.
Not just another stockist… this is a full circle moment.

If you’ve ever wanted to try them on in person, now’s your chance.
Go take a look, have a chat, and find your pair.

📍

Go see them in the window… like I used to.

Made by hand. One at a time.

Every cut, every polish, every imperfection — intentional.

From this week, I’ll be bringing a rotating selection of rare, handmade frames into
Onpoint Optical
every Friday and Saturday

These aren’t sitting on shelves.
They come with me, ready to leave with someone.

Each week: a small batch of one-offs, relic pieces, and experimental and classic Acetate frames — available to try on and purchase in person.

If you want time with them, book ahead.
Call and ask for Jamilla to lock in your appointment for an eye test and view the collection.

A NEW CHAPTER FOR BY CHRIS SAVAGE 🌱

After a few years of making semi-bespoke frames available in select stores and online, I have decided to wind down this part of my work.

Why? Because its time to return to what originally inspired this brand - Small Batch artistry, creative commissions, and sustainable craftsmanship built by hand, from stories and salvaged materials.

I'll be focusing on a very limited number of truly bespoke eyewear pieces each year, as well as my exciting work with circular eyewear , Spexcycle and Objekt Eyewear.

It's a little sad to let it go, but also very exciting. I can't wait to get back yo the bench and share some beautiful one of pieces and small number batches with you very soon. Back to where it all began. 🌈

Thankyou all for supporting this wild creative journey. 🫶🏻❤️

PS yes there will be some workshops still. So stay tuned for the new format coming up.

WHAT IS SPEXCYCLE..?

Spexcycle is Australia's first closed-loop eyewear recycling initiative, founded by Chris Savage an experienced optical dispenser and eyewear designer with a vision for change.
