Great glasses even greater customer service.

I’m thoroughly impressed with the quality of the Mòr C glasses I ordered. They look fantastic. I’m planning to order the Mòr Es in their upcoming release.

I also genuinely appreciate their prompt and personalized response to my emails. It’s refreshing to deal with a business that doesn’t rely on intermediaries. This is the kind of business I’d love to collaborate with. .

Angel, thank you for taking the time to write this, it really means a lot to Lucy and I.

I’m so glad the Mòr C has landed well with you. It’s one thing for us to make them, but hearing that they genuinely hit the mark when they arrive… that’s the part we care about most.

Appreciate you noticing the way we run things too. Keeping it direct and personal is a big part of why we do this the way we do.

And the Mòr E next… great choice. Looking forward to getting that into your hands.

Great Glasses - fast and inexpensive repair!

I had my g-burg frames for a while now. I am wearing them almost every day for the last two years. Recently, the branches got a bit loose. I was in touch with Jamie for the repair. It took only a few days, was quite cheap (45 pounds) and my glasses now look brand new. The quality of these glasses is exceptional and with a repair service like this, they last for years.

Hi there Edouard,

Thank you so so much! 😊

Two years of daily wear is exactly what we design our frames for, so it’s great to hear they’ve been holding up well for you. And I’m glad we could get those rivets tightened and the frames freshened up quickly.

That “like new again” feeling after a repair is something Lucy and I really care about. These things should last, and a simple fix should keep them going for many more years.

Thanks again for taking the time to share this, it genuinely means a lot.

The quality of the frames is excellent

The quality of the frames is excellent, although they were just a little narrow for my face. That said, I have adjusted frames before and will do so again once the lenses are fitted.
Keep up the good work, I am confident you are well on your way to building a very successful company.

Hi there Kevin,

Thank you for taking the time to leave this, I really appreciate it 🤝

I’m glad to hear the quality came through straight away. That’s always the bit Lucy and I care most about. On the fit, it sounds like you’ve got a good handle on things, and once the lenses are in and they settle into daily wear, they should feel that bit more dialled in.

And thank you as well for the kind words at the end, that genuinely means a lot to Lucy and I!

Hi Paul,

“Work of art” - I’ll take that all day 😊

Really appreciate you writing this. It’s great to hear the whole experience felt that good from your side, not just the frames themselves.

Lucy and I spend most of our time quietly working away in the background, so messages like this are a proper lift when they come through.

Enjoy the glasses, and we’ll be here when you’re ready for the next pair.

I recently got a pair of glasses from Banton Frameworks

I recently got a pair of glasses from Banton Frameworks and I genuinely couldn’t be happier. The quality speaks for itself the moment you pick them up — the kind you can tell are built to last and with great care.

What really set the experience apart, though, was the team. Jamie and Lucy were brilliant from start to finish — responsive, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what they do. They had made the whole process feel personal rather than transactional. Switched on doesn’t even cover it. I may have just found THE place for me to get glasses in the future. Thank you! Denis

What are you waiting for?

Jamie and Lucy are amazing, I stumbled across them when I was researching for quality glasses not mass produced and wanted something that was going to last me years and years. A bit more research later and I find out they are round the corner from me and make everything in house in Scotland… SOLD. I’ve got a pair of optical and sunglasses prescription, and both are generally insane, I love watching their work and stories on instagram and when reaching out for help they respond straight away and offer some amazing advice. I upgraded on all my lenses (upgraded because I’m comfortable with the essilor lenses and change is scary…) but from what I’ve seen the complimentary lenses are superb and I like the look of the coatings on those lenses. I would like to mention that I have both the linea and Mòr series and neither are heavy and hurt to wear all day long. I’m seriously contemplating finding another reason to get another pair.. :)

Thank you Jamie and Lucy! 8-)

Aidan, thank you so so much!

It means a lot that you took the time to properly research us and ended up trusting Lucy and I with not one, but two pairs of glasses.

Hearing that you’ve gone for both Linea and Mòr and found them comfortable for all-day wear is especially reassuring, as that’s something we think about constantly when designing.

Great to hear your thoughts on the lenses too. We completely understand sticking with what you know, but it’s good to know you can see the quality across the board.

And honestly, the fact you’re already thinking about a third pair… we won’t stop you.

Thanks again for your kind words and support, it really does mean a lot to Lucy and I.

I approached Banton Frameworks with some trepidation initially as I had previously used walk in opticians to purchase new glasses. I was guided and helped all of the way to submitting my details and purchasing my glasses. The website is very informative and the virtual ‘try on glasses’ and see how they look on you is great.
I have to say I have not been disappointed in any way with the impeccable service and attention to detail. The glasses feel like a hand crafted piece of art and I look forward to making further purchases in the future.
Great product.

Hi Alistair,

Thank you so much!

We put a huge amount of care into every step, from those first conversations right through to the moment your frames land with you, so it’s great to hear that came across.

The idea of it feeling like a bit of an “owners club” is exactly what we’ve always hoped to create… something a little more personal and considered than the 'usual' optical experience.

Really appreciate your kind words on the quality too. That’s what it’s all about for us.

Thanks again for your support, Alistair. It doesn’t go unnoticed.

I’ve followed Banton on Instagram for about a year and have loved their updates and watching an independent, creative company, grow. The passion they have for their product was clear… and their product looked great.

Recently I decided to buy a pair of their frames and I was interested to see if they matched the quality promised. I wasn’t disappointed; beautiful frames, incredibly well made, and delivered in packaging (with personal note) that many a high end retailer could learn from. I can recommend Banton Frames without reservation… not cheap… but you get what you pay for, and some! Great work and thanks.

Anthony, this is such a thoughtful review, thank you!

A year is a long time to be watching from the sidelines, so it means a lot that when you finally took the plunge, the frames lived up to what you’d seen. That’s always the bit we care most about getting right.

Really glad you picked up on the small details too, like the packaging and note. Lucy and I put a lot of care into that side of things as it’s often your first real interaction with what we’ve made.

And you’re right, they’re not the cheapest option out there. But our aim has always been to make something that feels genuinely worth it when you have it in your hands and wear it every day.

Thanks again for the support, Anthony. It genuinely means a lot to both of us.

881962 2nd Pair from Banton Frameworks.

881962 I have just had delivered my 2nd pair of glasses from Banton frameworks. The reason for purchase of these 2nd pair is that I was very very pleased with my initial purchase.
These just delivered pair show the exceptional design and manufacturing quality that Banton Frameworks put into their products.
It is also worthy of note that their personal customer service regarding lense fitting and final postage + delivery is of the highest standard.
I would certainly recommend them to anyone looking for glasses of exceptional quality that with thier follow on service should last a long long time.
Their glasses have a style and quality that will go on and on. David

I've been so particular about glasses my whole life. I've tried on so many over the years, only to take almost all off immediately, muttering No! I now have my 2nd pair of Banton frames. These are the ones I've been always been looking for! Forward-thinking, yet classic styles and outstanding craftsmanship. Customer service is so personable. I could not be happier.

That feeling of trying on frame after frame and instantly knowing “no” is something we hear all the time, so it means a lot that you’ve found your perfect glasses with us. And now onto your second pair as well… that’s a real compliment.

We put a lot of thought into designing frames that feel both timeless and a bit different, so it’s great to hear that balance has landed with you.

Fantastic, professional and personal customer service!

After 18 months or so daily wear of my favourite specs, my frames needed adjustment. After completing the online request on Banton Frameworks website, I had a prompt response from Jamie and clear instructions on how to return the frames for adjustment.
Within 2 days, the frames were back with me, re-riveted, re-polished and adjusted so the temples have a little more hook behind the ears for a more secure fit.
Perfect customer care, all at no extra cost to what I paid for the frames 18 months ago.
These are not cheap frames, but my experience demonstrates they are the true definition of good value.

Hi Stephen,

Thank you for taking the time to write such a thoughtful review. It really means a lot to Lucy and I 😊

When someone chooses our glasses, we see it as the start of a long relationship rather than a one-off purchase, so being able to re-rivet, re-polish and adjust your frames after 18 months of daily wear is exactly the kind of thing we hope to do for people.

I'm delighted to hear the adjustments have given you a more secure fit behind the ears and that your frames are back in action again.

Thanks again for trusting us with your glasses and for supporting what Lucy and I make here in Scotland.

Great glasses great people

Great to see an independent business delivering great products. I have been purchasing their glass for a number of years. On my 12th pair of glasses - all great quality. On the one occasion there was a fault I posted them back and they were fixed FOC (even though I had sat on them).

It genuinely means a lot to Lucy and I that you’ve trusted us with your glasses for so many years. When someone keeps coming back, that’s the highest compliment we can get.

And yes, even after sitting on them, it was only right we fixed them. That’s what our lifetime repairs are there for. Glasses are meant to be worn, lived in, occasionally squashed… and then brought back to life.

We’ll take the Scottish comment as a compliment too 😉 The Calcutta cup is ours once again 🏉

Banton Frameworks are a company of just two- Jamie & Lucy and their customer service and glasses are absolutely first class. It surpasses many companies who have their own customer service team.

Jamie dealt with all my questions quickly and provided great information.
The glasses themselves are beautifully made and feel top quality. I bought a lovely tortoiseshell pair of reading glasses and am over the moon with them.

I’m so pleased you’re happy with your tortoiseshell reading glasses. That colour has such warmth and character, and knowing they’ve found the right home makes all the hours at the workbench worthwhile.

What can I say?
Simply wonderful would be a start, but only the start.
I've had a number of compliments on my latest pair from Banton Frameworks already, and whilst it is early days in terms of wearing them for work, and using them for extended periods, they feel really comfortable, and the field of vision is great.
Of course, they were beautifully presented and carefully packaged, and the little extras of the card, and cleaning wipe just topped things off so nicely.
I can assure you I will do my utmost to get others to purchase from you, especially as I have 3 pairs from you now, but I can only wear one pair at a time!
Guys, you do a truly wonderful job. You should be so proud of your products and business and I sincerely wish you every success in the future.
