Behind the Scenes with theo
Our Journey to Antwerp’s Most Original Eyewear Brand
Anyone who has tried theo eyewear will tell you they’re not just glasses. They’re conversation starters. They’re confidence boosters and more than anything, they’re unapologetically you.
As a qualified Dispensing Optician, I had the chance to visit theo’s home in Antwerp recently and I want to take you behind the scenes of a brand that’s rewriting the rules of designer eyewear, not just in Belgium but around the world.
Antwerp: A City of Creative Energy
From the moment I stepped into Antwerp, it was clear why theo was born here. The city is flooded with creativity and bold thinking, from its fashion history to its architectural flair. You can feel the connection between the place and the product - every street corner echoes the same originality you’ll find in theo’s collection.
They don’t just make glasses. They design personality pieces and the city’s design DNA runs through every frame.
Where Eyewear Becomes Art
Inside theo’s headquarters, I saw first-hand how frames go from concept to craftsmanship. The energy was infectious, with sketches, colour palettes and prototype shaping all done by hand. Every frame is a piece of wearable art.
Why We’re Bringing theo to You
This visit wasn’t just about theo eyewear, it was about finding something we believe you’ll love. We’re very selective with what we bring into all of our practices because you deserve a choice that’s not only high-quality but also reflects your individuality.
Their frames aren’t just made to fit faces, they’re made to fit personalities and when we talk about independent eyewear with true character, theo leads the way.
Whether you're already a fan or curious about what makes theo different, you’ll find something completely unique.
What to Expect Next
We’re so excited to be introducing theo to our current collection here at Lynne Fernandes. Expect iconic colour combinations, exclusive shapes, and bold pieces you won’t find anywhere else in Bristol. These are frames for people who want to express something - frames with meaning, energy and individuality built in.
Visit us at our Gloucester Road practice to try on the collection or book a personalised eyewear styling consultation with one of our expert opticians. We’ll guide you through the range and help you find a theo frame that feels like you.
