Quality over status

It’s a huge part of our ‘why’.

We want to provide you with the leading lens technologies and premiere optics that you deserve. We support independent eyewear collections and curate from them to ensure your visual experience is framed with exquisite materials and craftsmanship. We edge your lenses into your new frames on our in house edging machine to guarantee that your glasses are crafted with the upmost attention to detail and care.

Because at the very core of it, our ‘why’ is you.

Coles aka Nicole

Licensed optician and one half of C&K

Nicole is our curator of kindness and lens tech guru. Her drive for education and technical aptitude has been ever so present over her 12+ year career. Her heart flutters when she can help people find joy in their eyewear and provide them with the best lenses for their vision.

Nicole stands for community, not competition. She loves plants and books and lifting heavy things. And that's just the Cole's notes on our amazing Nicole.
