THE DESIGNER
A British brand with a distinct design outlook. MONC was founded in London, by British designer Freddie Elborne with an aim to celebrate the creative process and the people behind it. Having become disenfranchised with the modern throwaway culture, MONC represents a new era in which quality, provenance and ethical production methods are of the same importance to the aesthetics of the finished item.
ABOUT THE BRAND
Each frame is handmade in a family-run artisanal factory in the Neapolitan countryside. In the eyewear industry, you hear the word ‘handmade’ used regularly without true meaning behind it. Unlike other manufacturers, makers of Monc glasses stick to traditional techniques and processes. This one-on-one process allows them to concentrate on each frame individually, maintaining true precision.
