Services · Private label
Private label eyewear manufacturing, made under your name.
You bring the brand. We make the frames — end-to-end, in one East London workshop, under your name.
End-to-end frames, delivered as yours
Private label covers everything from design support and material selection to production, glazing and packing. Frames leave the workshop already labelled and boxed to your specification, ready to sell in practice or online.
Who it suits
- Optical practices launching a house frame line
- Brands who want their range made in the UK
- Retailers building an exclusive-to-them collection
- Concept stores adding a signature eyewear line
How the process runs
- Step 01
Brand and range brief
We agree the number of models, the audience and the tone the range needs to hit.
- Step 02
Design and drawings
We work up production drawings from your references, existing shapes or our shape library — whichever route suits you.
- Step 03
Samples
Each model is sampled in production acetate so the colour, fit and finish are approved before scale.
- Step 04
Production and finishing
Frames are CNC cut, heat formed, cored, riveted, tumbled and hand polished. Your temple engraving, stamping and any interior branding is applied at this stage.
- Step 05
Glazing and packing
Optional prescription glazing happens in the same building. Frames are labelled and packed to your specification for delivery.
Order quantities and timelines are agreed per project, once the brief is confirmed.

Frequently asked
Questions we hear about private label eyewear manufacturing.
- Do you help with the design side?
- Yes. We can design the range with you from scratch, work from your references, or take finished drawings straight into production.
- Can the frames be glazed before dispatch?
- Yes. Our glazing lab is in the same building, so private label frames can leave already glazed with prescription or plano lenses.
- Whose name appears on the frame?
- Yours. Private label frames carry your engraving, stamping, interior branding and packaging — Eyewear Ltd does not appear on the product.
