British-made frames provided to British citizens by the British health system, the NHS (National Health Service).
At the time, these glasses were manufactured in eyeglass workshops all over the UK, and one of the charms of this model is that the designs vary slightly depending on the manufacturer.
This is a horn rim Wellington manufactured by MERX.
An iconic model that truly symbolizes the era, as it was worn by Morrissey during his time with The Smiths.
This timeless design, which was later sampled by many brands, can also be worn as sunglasses with colored lenses to add a luxurious accent.
