Independent eyewear brand: The St. Louis eyewear makers are “inspired by the past, to shape the future”
Erker’s 1879 releases its new styles this month, with lots of favourite silhouettes in updated expressive tones. The launch includes 11 frames and a revamp of two favourite designs (Uplands Park and Winchester), blending the company’s signature heritage craftsmanship with a contemporary vision. Above: frames for everyday, the Erker’s styles offer a balance of classical aesthetics with modern day features to offer longevity and all-day comfort
Model Fenton is an old favourite at Erker’s – introduced in Spring 2024. The rounded eye shape is distinguished by thin rims and temples for comfort, and some patterned acetates including the brand new Tracks tone, a striated grey and black effect.
The Winchester frame makes a bold return in new tones of Mocha, Blue Speckle (pictured), Black Gradient and Sea Top. This frame has a slim rectangular shape – popular for the Autumn season, and a subtle lift on the brow.
