Theo glasses & sunglasses in Harborne, Birmingham

There is something about Theo glasses that makes people look twice. Bold colour, sculptural shapes and a real sense of humour set these frames apart from anything you would find on the average high street. If you have ever felt your eyewear should say a little something about who you are, this is the brand that lets you do exactly that.

Theo was born in Antwerp back in 1987, when two Belgian opticians, Wim Somers and Patrick Hoet, decided they were hungry for a different pair of glasses. Theo has stayed true to that spirit ever since, designing every frame in Antwerp and hand finishing them in premium European workshops. The frames are made to support your personality rather than hide it, which is why the brand is known the world over by its warm little motto, Theo loves you.

Wearing Theo is a happy bit of self-expression. The frames are imaginative without ever being awkward to wear, with rich colourways and clever details you simply will not see on everyone else. Whether you want a pair that whispers or one that happily turns heads, there is a Theo here in Harborne that feels like it was waiting for you. Many styles work beautifully as prescription and non-prescription sunglasses too, so you can carry that character into the sunshine.
