Tom Herrington launches RockOptika

Hastings practice owner Tom Herrington launched his RockOptika frame collection at the McClintock store on London's Floral Street last week.

The 10-frame acetate line, manufactured in the Jura, France, was in development for two years and takes its influences from the best eyewear of the past 100 years. 'I was sat in my shop in Hastings in the winter and it developed from there. Having worked in the Kirk Originals shop before setting up The Optical Lounge, I was inspired by Jason Kirk and what he did. With my own practice, I understood what people were looking for when they were asking for frames that often didn't exist.'
