These frames were made in England and supplied to the British public
through the UK's National Health Service (NHS).
At the time, they were produced in various optical workshops across the UK,
and the slight design differences between manufacturers
are part of the charm of this model.
This is a horn-rimmed Wellington frame produced by the MERX company.
It is the iconic model that defined the era, famously worn by Morrissey
during his time with The Smiths.
With a timeless design that has been sampled by many brands since,
you can enjoy a luxurious accent by fitting it with tinted lenses
to wear as sunglasses.

Deadstock in perfect storage condition.
A true vintage frame you can feel the moment you hold it,
it possesses an authentic appeal that cannot be satisfied
by the many copies and replicas on the market.
