Through the Lens – Taylor Morris

I’m not going to hide the fact that over the last few years I have developed a slight sunglasses obsession. I’m all for having the basic sunglasses, a good classy black pair, a classic brown pair and then the standard vintage aviator. I have them all and more. I have them in every shape and designer.

Recently my obsession was taken to a new level when I came across, Taylor Morris Eyewear, and I thought it was only fitting to praise them when Co-founder, Hugo Taylor is in South Africa, escaping the British winter for a sunnier side of the world!

A little about Taylor Morris Eyewear (Stolen from their website)

“Launched in September 2013 by British designers Hugo Taylor and Charlie Morris, Taylor Morris focuses on a tradition and heritage of classic design reinvented and modernised for today’s most discerning eyewear collectors, enthusiasts and anyone who shares our passion for creating the highest quality frames. Taylor Morris Eyewear encapsulates the best of British design imbuing it with a timeless elegance.”

I like the line, most discerning eyewear collectors and enthusiast; I think I fall under that! On one of my recent trips to London I purchased my first pair, I got the Rollright sea blue mirror lens, I love them. Not only because the way they look, I love the fact that I get stopped whenever I wear them and not many people down here in SA own Taylor Morris.

Taylor Morris just keep blowing it out the water and every new pair that comes out is added to the top of my list! Its crazy!

At the top of my list now are  these Zero Amarelo granite acetate, with blue sapphire mirror lens. I will have to wait until my first trip to London this year in Feb.
