For men who like the British fashion swagger of the 1970s, Brett Eyewear typifies this golden age of self-made men swapping their suits for leather jackets while maintaining a level of sophistication that inspired a generation.
Modelled on the British aristocrat Brett Sinclair from The Persuaders, Brett Eyewear pulls off the rare blend of tradition and rebellion in a way that few others can.
The Brett Eyewear collection is engineered, not manufactured. Each frame is crafted from laser-cut monobloc titanium, carbon fibre, stainless steel, and elegant acetate. These frames are a bold blend of past iconic design and modern innovative technologies.
The materials make them ultra-light for uncompromising comfort. Each piece is a work of art, hand-finished, ensuring every curve and edge is a thing of beauty. The construction makes them practically indestructible for the man who expects his fashion to be as robust as he is.
Brett frames are fitted with the highest-quality DIVEL polarised lenses, adding a layer of quality that defines these exceptional products.
Brett Eyewear is synonymous with masculinity. In the vision of cinematic giants such as Newman, Eastwood, Redford, and McQueen, they embody a time when natural charisma and personal style amplified aura, inspired peers, and turned heads.
Contrast is the key to a Brett Eyewear collection. Matt and gloss, thick and thin, each frame is a juxtaposition that cleverly merges the unpretentious with the sophisticated, creating a unique signature for those who dare to showcase their rugged yet refined personality.
“Brett Eyewear blends masculine strength with refined rebellion—crafted with titanium, carbon fibre and attitude, made for men who dare to stand out.”
