Our commitment to handcrafted precision ensures each Tommy Owens frame is as unique and beautiful as the wood from which it was born.
Preparation is the make or break stage.
We source only the best materials for our wooden eyewear and put each piece through rigorous testing to ensure whatever leaves our facility reaches you in absolute flawless condition.
Our craftsmen work with a variety of unique woods, each chosen by hand for its strength and the story written in its grain. There's an intimate connection between craftsman and material – a sense of respect as the wood yields under their touch. This is the start of transformation.
This careful attention to detail ensures that no two pairs of Tommy Owens frames are exactly alike, reflecting the distinct style of the wearer.
The beauty of one-of-a-Kind
Explore Frames That Reflect Your Style
In a world of mass-produced sameness, our handcrafted approach ensures that no two pairs of Tommy Owens frames are exactly alike. From the subtle variations in the wood grain to the individual touch of the craftsman, each pair is shaped by a unique journey. We believe that your eyewear should be as distinctive as you are.
Did You Know? Our signature frame curve used to be the most difficult stage in crafting. Now, we achieve this elegant shape early in the process, a testament to our dedication to refinement and innovation.
A legacy of craftsmanship
Meet Bob. Our guiding hand in the early days of Tommy Owens. His dedication to traditional methods, like the ones pictured here, laid the foundation for our commitment to quality and meticulous craftsmanship in every frame we create.
Wood lives, but it takes a craftsman to bring it to life.
Our techniques are modeled after the proven methods of woodworkers of years past, who, from generation to generation, passed down unique ways of withstanding any condition. Our wooden eyewear is lightweight, flexible, extremely durable, uniquely varnished—and built to last.
The final step is often the most crucial.
What really establishes the superiority of our finished piece, helping it stand head and shoulders above other mass-produced versions, is our final touch. After hours of handcrafting, we carefully incorporate stainless steel spring hinges to ensure a comfortable and forgiving fit. Next, we inlay two steel bars into the temples of each pair, creating our signature logo marking our official seal of approval.
The finished wooden eyewear frame is then buffed into a high-grade lustrous finish and carefully inspected a final time to ensure it meets our standards. Only now is your Tommy Owens wood eyewear ready to be worn.
