Kirk&Kirk announce crowdfunding opportunity

British eyewear brand Kirk&Kirk is giving eye care professionals the opportunity to own shares in its business, ahead of a public launch.

The Kirk family has been in optics for more than one hundred years and remains the only company in the world to hand-make acrylic frames.

Owners Jason and Karen Kirk said their light and comfortable eyewear attracted loyal customers from around the world including actors Robert Downey Jr and Samuel L Jackson.

‘We are independent, we make our own decisions, and we won’t be told what to wear. Our mission is to inspire and excite through eyewear,’ they said.

The company said that shares would be limited and urged practitioners to sign up for exclusive early access to invest, ahead of the public launch.
