Meet Alice: designer, maker, and repair expert. You may have spotted her last summer, tinkering away at broken frames on the repair cart she built herself (from scratch!).

 

 

Alice champions craftsmanship in every way: thoughtful design, attention to detail, and a belief that the things we own should be cherished, repaired, and kept for life. Whether she's crafting bespoke frames for our customers, fixing broken hinges, or sewing her own outfits, Alice brings artistry to every project.

 

 

There’s not much Alice won’t try her hand at, a few years ago she even took on the solo challenge of transforming a narrowboat into her home, which she now lives on, currently moored in Bristol. Despite being a remote worker and only joining us in the office two days a week, she’s always the first to know about a new speciality coffee spot and encourages us all to go. Her latest recommendation, Speciality Coffee, just round the corner from us in Marylebone.

 

 

For bespoke eyewear and repairs, Alice is the woman to talk to.
