About the Company
Established in 1997
by Hanna Nussbaum – who launched the company with a single
range of frames – Orange Eyewear now offers a comprehensive
range of niche frame collections exclusively to independent opticians.
Based in Manchester, the company is renowned
for its keen eye for spotting those ranges that will allow independent
opticians
to differentiate their product offerings in the face of mounting
pressure from the multiples. Often working in close partnership
with opticians, Orange Eyewear provides expert, incisive advice
on maximising commercial opportunities with frames that will
continue to attract patients.
2005 has been an exciting year at Orange
Eyewear with the launch of the Holeman’s luxury collection and the Betty Barclay
ophthalmic and sunglass ranges. Both have been extremely well
received by independent opticians and consumers alike. Indeed,
thanks to Orange Eyewear, the UK is now the world’s top
selling country for Betty Barclay outside Germany, the brand’s
home.
