Vinylize is here – the ultimate eyewear collector’s item!
Combining love of music and dedication to quality, each frame is hand crafted in the Vinylize workshop in Budapest using high quality acetate and up-cycled records!
The result is a unique and individual piece of eyewear which is sure to be a talking point in the pub.
The full Vinylize collection has just hit the Grey St. Optician shelves in time for Christmas…
To view the collection please arrange a frame consultation with one of our frame specialists. There is no charge for this appointment but you will benefit from our global industry knowledge and expert coffee making ability! We look forward to seeing you soon.

Many thanks to all those who attended our trunk show. Theo eyewear makes us smile and it was great to see so many smiling faces at our event!
Theo eyewear started in 1989. What began as a memo on an order form has developed into the slogan for the most headstrong Belgian brand of spectacles: ‘theo loves you’. To this very day the motto connects everything theo does, every decision, every collection. It was the love for their clients that made Wim Somers and Patrick Hoet, opticians with their own store, decide to design and present a collection under the name of theo. Why? Well, simple: because they wanted to offer their clients something other than the mainstream glasses that were selling at the time.
Theo has a cult following and is now sold in 1,400 stores across 50 countries… including our very own, Grey St. Optician in Newcastle upon Tyne!

Why spend money on trendy but cheap eye-wear while longing for a “classic” frame? Kilsgaard have broken this paradox by designing iconic frames but using high quality materials to give structural integrity. A Kilsgaard will remain part of your eye-wear collection for many years to come!
Jacob Kilsgaard founded the company in 2007 with the aim of creating contemporary, elegant designs which embody simplicity. Not fussy “designer” labels, but sleek, minimalist Danish Design.
Good design has the strength to be simple, one screw fastens the sides of the frame and holds the lens in place. All frames are 100% Aluminium or the finest quality acetate that money can buy.
Come and take a look at Kilsgaard Eyewear, exclusively at Grey St. Optician.
It has been a very busy day on Newcastle’s finest street! The beautiful sunshine has turned attention to our fantastic 2016 sunglasses which are all in store NOW! There are tempting smells coming from the continental market too… A good day to be in Newcastle.
