Cubitts x SPOKE Friday shorts collaboration

The frames launched with matching shorts featuring a wearable lens cloth

Spectacle maker Cubitts collaborated with menswear brand Spoke on a collection of glasses accompanied by custom shorts with a wearable cleaning cloth.

The Atlantica bespoke frame, inspired by Copacabana’s promenade landscape with a geometric curve, came in three colourways, which are individually matched by Spoke shorts with purpose-built, microfibre pocket lining for convenient lens cleaning. The pockets were designed by Cubitts in Roberto Burle Marx’s wave print, and came in dark navy, bone and sky.

Speaking of the partnership, Tom Broughton, founder of Cubitts, said: ‘As William Morris said, have nothing that you do not know to be beautiful, or believe to be useful. The humble cleaning cloth can be both. The one problem is they're very easy to misplace. But now, in this collaboration with Spoke, we've solved that problem (unless something has gone very wrong indeed). Introducing our first wearable cleaning cloth, integrated within the warm womb of the pockets themselves. Never be caught short again.’
