Eyewear husband and wife Jason and Karen Kirk have celebrated 25 years working in optics with a specially-commissioned range.
Quartz Edition has seen the pair ‘go back to their roots’ with shimmering glitter versions of models in the acrylic Kaleidoscope collection. Four new colours are available: onyx, amber, sapphire and ruby.
‘We have loved working in this industry for the past 25 years and how better to celebrate than with a bit of glitter. The Quartz Edition is a pure celebration and representation of both Karen and I, our past and our vision for the future,’ said managing director Jason Kirk.
The company has also launched Kirk & Kirk Distribution, a new arm of the business designed to aid independent practices in the discovery of new eyewear brands and alternatives to names from established companies.
Kirk said: ‘Too many opticians find it challenging to get to the international shows and discover new brands or alternatives to the big brands that so many opticians already stock. They need options to distinguish themselves from their competitors and give clients a reason to visit their store, which is where Kirk & Kirk Distribution comes in.’
Kirk & Kirk Distribution has launched with the Italian brands Eyepetizer and Hapter as well as French brand Bruno Chaussignand.
