Staff Pick Of The Month From John Ruby

Tree brand glasses frames

John’s Pick:
Tree Brand Glasses

Made in Italy and bold in design, this collection looks great on so many different people, suiting a variety of face shapes.

Though not a High Street brand like Gucci or Tom Ford, Tree brand frames are an equivalent quality and statement for fashion. This is a new fashion brand which places high regard on sustainability. The construction of the frames is also quite special, with the sides handmade from the purest titanium, providing a lightness and incredible strength. The front of the frame is constructed from environmentally-friendly plastic.

Offering a range of styles, Tree is proving very popular. If you want to make a statement, you will love Tree’s bright colours and different frame styles, some of which are quite chunky. At the other end of the scale, if you are someone who doesn’t like wearing spectacles, you might appreciate the brand’s alternative options which are completely neutral or clear, or with a very soft, subtle flush of pink running through the frame.

The Tree brand of frames is available at our Lower Hutt practice and we also see a good number of people from Johnsonville coming out to pick a frame from this range. We look forward to helping you find your perfect frame from the Tree brand.
