Overview of TOM

TOM is designed around a softened square shape with deep, generous proportions, making it ideal for longer or narrower faces. The silhouette blends subtle retro cues with modern balance, keeping the frame expressive without feeling oversized. The straightened upper line suits higher bridges particularly well, while the depth provides space and stability for a wide range of prescriptions.

Offered in both fine and heavy cuts, TOM can shift from elegant and formal to bold and retro depending on the weight and colour. This flexibility, combined with its flattering depth and comfortable proportions, makes TOM one of the most versatile square based frames in Series 01.

  • Generous depth ideal for longer or narrower faces

Who TOM Suits

Face Shapes:

  • Longer faces needing depth and visual balance

  • Narrow faces that suit a structured, square inspired shape

  • Oval faces wanting a confident, expressive silhouette

Features:

  • Higher bridges

  • Narrower PDs or longer facial proportions

  • Wearers who like subtle retro styling

  • Those wanting depth for complex or thicker prescriptions

TOM’s generous depth makes it especially effective for adding presence to longer faces, while its softened square edges keep the frame from feeling sharp. The result is a silhouette that is stylish, expressive and consistently flattering.

Available in 2 Weights

Fine:

The slimmer rim highlights the softened square geometry while keeping the retro influence subtle. Fine TOM is ideal for everyday wear.

Heavy:

Bold, retro and more sculptural. The thicker rim amplifies the 1950s influence and creates a confident, expressive look. Darker colours emphasise this, while translucent tones keep the shape playful and modern.

Materials, Colours & Craftsmanship

TOM is handcrafted from premium Italian cellulose acetate, chosen for its clarity, colour depth and ability to hold both sharp and softened shaping. Each frame is cut, contoured and polished by hand in our London workshop. The softened square edges, deep lens shaping and upper line are refined through careful hand finishing.

All of our frames use premium German hardware, high precision hinges selected for their durability, smooth action and long term reliability.

TOM is available in a palette that includes rich tortoises, warm browns, smoky neutrals and darker tones. Lighter colours give the shape a modern softness, while deeper palettes bring out its retro, expressive character.

Two TOM frames shown front-on: one in XXL width and one in XXS width, illustrating the full size range available in our made-to-measure eyewear.
