About Walter & Herbert

Walter & Herbert is an English eyewear brand whose acetate frames are designed, made and tested in its own factory in England.

The story goes back to 1946, when Walter Conway and Herbert Thorn built a company that went on to shape how spectacle frames were made worldwide. Today's collection keeps that heritage close, with smooth shapes, rich colour and small details that reward a closer look.
