CUBITTS

Cubitts glasses were born in London in 2013: Tom Broughton launched the brand online in October that year and opened the first shop, in Soho, in 2014. The name comes from three brothers, Thomas, William and Lewis Cubitt, engineers and builders of nineteenth-century London.

The brand

CUBITTS

History and workshop

Cubitts' home is The Yard, a former industrial building in King's Cross: frames are cut and finished there, and lenses are edged and fitted in the optical lab. The signature is the rivet, a pin through each hinge, based on Lewis Cubitt's dovetail joint at King's Cross. Cubitts is an independent company and a certified B Corporation. The full story is in the Journal: Cubitts, London in a pair of glasses.

Cubitts: frequently asked questions

Where are Cubitts glasses made?

In London: frames are cut and finished at The Yard, Cubitts' workshop in King's Cross.

How do Cubitts sizes work?

The same model can come in S, M, L, XL or XXL. The size changes the overall width of the frame, not the design. Check the measurements on each product page.

What is the rivet on the front?

It is the pin that runs through the hinge, inspired by Lewis Cubitt's dovetail joint: the brand's signature.

Can prescription lenses be fitted?

Yes, at the OCCHIO! boutique in Crema or by your own optician.
