Brands
Here at R C Cunning we pride ourselves on our selection of frames that suit all tastes and budgets. It is always important to remember that a designer name is not essential. Our frame range is selected for its quality, design, comfort and of course functionality. We ensure that when we stock a designer range, it must incorporate these features.
We constantly monitor the market and search for the absolute best brands from around the world.
We particularly proud to announce our two latest arrivals:
Salt
“A product of coastal California, SALT. is a premium eyewear brand dedicated to timeless style and effortless beauty. Since its founding in 2006, SALT. has always sought to create eyewear that reflects the Golden State’s natural beauty, drawing inspiration from the sandy beaches, snow-capped mountains, and pristine deserts of the brand’s California home.
Taking cues from the iconic eras of film, architecture, music, and art, as well as from the people and places that make California such a unique destination, we strive to create products that capture the casual elegance of California’s aspirational lifestyle. But of course, design means more than just great style. It means creating the perfect fit. Something that SALT. focuses on through every step in the process—from inspiration, to materials, to construction, SALT. believes that eyewear should do more than just look good; it should fit perfectly too.
Because high quality construction is not simply about beauty, it’s also about durability. It is eyewear that will stand up to the rigors of a life well lived. Which is all part of our commitment to creating products that are made to last.”
“Salt is the first brand that I have actively chased to be able to stock. I fell in love with the quality of the frames the moment I first encountered them. The biggest surprise to me was the price. Quite simply they offer excellent value. I am not sure there is another manufacturer that offers this quality at this price.”
David Cunning
Sea2See
“SEA2SEE was started by François van den Abeele, a father and entrepreneur with deep passion for oceans and nature, convinced that around the globe consumers are becoming more environmentally conscious, that they expect ecologically friendly materials, a conservation-minded use of resources, reduced emission of pollutants and greater social commitment.
François firmly believes that every drop counts in changing the world and reimagining product design, use and consumption habits is our duty and one of the greatest challenges of our time. Thinking about our future and the one our children will inherit should be second nature.
Believing in circular economy and looking at the plastic contamination of our Oceans, he believed that Ocean plastic could be reconverted into raw material to produce everyday products. His motivation, investigations and investment in R&D have been lead him to succeed in manufacturing a premium eyewear made entirely with abandoned fishnets and ropes, collected by fishing communities off the coast of Spain, hence reducing ghost fishing and ocean contamination.
Sustainability is almost inexistent in the eyewear industry where plastic is the main source of raw material. Sea2see is leading a change, hoping consumers will start understanding that waste can be transformed into premium products.
Sea2see is more than a product, it’s a statement that anybody can wear with pride, because sunglasses will not change the world, but people that wear Sea2see will.”
“Sea2See is one of those ideas that cannot be ignored. The moment I heard about their concept, I knew I had to see the range and if possible, stock them. The quality and style of the frames stood out and it was clear that this was a range that would not only appeal to the conservationist inside of our patients but also their demands for quality and style.”
