Bailey Nelson cores have unique detailing too. Our name – just in case you forget who made your fresh specs – is on one arm and a set of small shapes grace the other. These icons: a diamond, oval, square, heart, triangle and circle represent the diverse ways a human face is shaped. You’ll see our cores shining in crystal, smokey grey,                    amber and rosé frames.

From research meetings in Hong Kong to trade shows in Paris, our design team can sometimes be found living out of suitcases for weeks at a time. In light of this, Expedia asked us (along with a handful of other top Australian designers) for some insight on what inspires us when travelling. Castiglione Olona is a small town in the Italian province of Varese. This village is home to Mazzucchelli 1849, the family run business producing our acetate materials.
