Luxury eyewear show returns

Show creator, Francesca Chapman

The sixth edition of luxury eyewear showcase the LONDONi will take place in a gallery showroom at 14 Percy Street, Fitzrovia, London, next month.

Designed to present niche and luxury eyewear brands to UK independent opticians and fashion buyers, the event was conceived by Chapman Agency and founder, Francesca Chapman.

With a background in fashion, Francesca launched the event in 2023 to create a meeting point for opticians and exclusive eyewear brands. It takes place twice a year, in March and September.

More than 15 brands will exhibit this year, including London’s Cutler and Gross, Lazare Studio from France, Denmark’s Ørgreen Optics, and AKONI from Switzerland.

Francesca Chapman told DO Online: “The LONDONi was born from a vision to redefine how we experience luxury eyewear in a space that’s intimate yet vibrant, where independent agents and brands come together not just to showcase products, but to build a true community.”

The next event will take place on Sunday 14 September (10am to 8pm) and Monday 15 September (12pm to 9pm).

Dispensing opticians working in independent practice, who are interested in attending, can email their name, contact details and where they work to Immy El-Rayess Moore at immy@chapmanagency.co.uk
