Rachel had already completed a BSc and Masters in forensic psychology before she saw the light. When we say the light, we mean the bright… and interesting eyewear for which she is renowned!

“I love the science and technical aspects of the job mixed with being creative and styling people to help them look and feel great

 

Working Holiday

Rachel is such a glasses enthusiast that she took time out on a recent holiday visit the Vinylize factory in Hungary. Now that’s dedication! Here she is with Marta in the Budapest head office:

Hula Blues

Hula Blues is a collaboration between two juggernauts of the independent eyewear world!
Maui Jim have teamed up with Vinylize to produce a one-off Sunglass frame that is very special indeed.
The frame is handmade in the Vinylize factory in Budapest using upcycled records. The different grooves on the record making each frame unique.
The lenses have Maui Jim’s all singing, all dancing polarised plus 2 technology. They are amazing to look through!
This Sunglass is hot property! Order a pair exclusively at Grey St. Optician today!
