ORRIS

ORRIS London makes glasses chains and necklaces, designed in a London studio by founder Tara Shen, who studied at London College of Fashion and worked in fashion in Shanghai. The label began in 2018 as a fresh take on the traditional glasses chain.

Each link is laser cut, shaped and hand-polished, and a piece can take up to seven days to finish. They are made from acetate, the plant-based material traditionally used for glasses frames, in more than 30 shades, from classic tortoiseshell and Mother of Pearl to limited-run colours each season. The bio-acetate range is petroleum-free and biodegradable after 115 days. A soft cloth keeps them clean.
