Meet Jillian.

If you love the Piece Hall (who doesn’t?) you may already have met her — she gives tours and shares its stories with the same warmth you see here.

She came to see us for a new everyday pair that felt fresh but natural, and also a new pair of prescription sunglasses.

This time of year, the low sun can make driving a bit of a squinting contest — so we went for polarised lenses to cut the glare and make everything clearer and more comfortable.

Her everyday frames are soft and understated — just a gentle lift and a natural shape that suits her beautifully.

Her sunglasses? A little bolder and more fun.
Because eyewear can be practical and still have personality.

Jillian walks through history every week.
Now she sees it clearly — and stylishly — every day.

Most of the world is on autopilot.

Autopilot purchases.

Autopilot routines.

Autopilot decisions dressed up as “saving time”.

But every so often you meet someone who’s deliberate — someone who chooses things with care.

Not because they’re fussy, but because they understand that small choices compound into the life you live.

Being deliberate isn’t slow.
It’s not about overthinking.

It’s about noticing the moment you’re in, and choosing with your eyes open.
Clothes. Tools. Eyewear. The people you trust with your vision.

Anything can be chosen deliberately.

The interesting thing?
Deliberate people rarely regret their decisions. They’ve already paid attention.

Maybe the real luxury in life is simply this:

taking the time to actually choose.

“The Frame Most People Never Get Shown”

The high street does a great job showing what’s popular. Rows of frames, tidy categories, easy choices. It’s efficient — and that’s fine.

But efficiency isn’t the same as individuality.
Most people have never been shown what truly suits them — not what’s in stock, but what aligns with their features, prescription, and sense of self.

When you sit down with us, we bring the frames to you.
Because the magic happens where optics and aesthetics meet — when you’re introduced to a frame you’d never have picked yourself, and suddenly you can’t imagine not wearing it.

That look of surprise and delight isn’t just a reaction — it’s the start of a story.
A story about seeing yourself differently, and liking what you see.
And quietly, it becomes our shared story — one of beautiful vision and effortless style.

This is Sue.
She decided it was time for something with a bit more attitude — something that brings the sparkle forward.
She’s already had compliments.
In fact, one of her friends came in because of these very frames.
(We love that.)

Bold doesn’t have to be loud — it can be joyful, playful, and stylish in a “this is who I am now” sort of way.

Sue is a style queen. We’re just here as the accomplice.

This is Andy.

You know when someone just gets that eyewear is part of who you are?
That’s Andy.

He’s no stranger to the world of fashion and design, and he treats his glasses like most people treat shoes or watches — as part of the whole mood of a day.

He chose Theo because they’re bold in a thoughtful way. Not loud for the sake of it.
More… intentional.
A bit like saying “I know who I am” without needing to say anything.

What we loved most was how naturally he styled them.
No forcing it.
No performance.
Just confidence, worn lightly.

It’s always a joy when someone walks in and uses eyewear as a form of expression rather than something to “just get through the day with”.

There’s a kind of quiet magic in that.

If you’re curious about finding that same “yes — that’s me” moment, we’d be delighted to sit down with you.

“Why We Don’t Compete on Price (and Never Will)”

Price has its place. The high street plays that game well — and fairly.
They’ve made glasses accessible to more people than ever, and that’s a good thing.

But at Bottomley, we’re playing a different game entirely.

Our goal isn’t to be the cheapest.
It’s to do our very best for you — clinically and stylistically.

To make sure your eyes are healthy, your lenses are right, and your look reflects who you truly are.

For some, that means discovering the lightest frame they’ve ever worn.
For others, it’s trying on something they’d never have imagined — and realising it’s exactly them.

What we hope to be the same, every time, is the smile at the end.
That quiet, assured smile that says, “Yes. That’s me.”

Because every one of those smiles goes out into the world carrying your story and ours — a shared story of care, individuality, and the confidence that comes from seeing and seeing yourself at your very best.

🖥️ What Are Office Lenses?

Office lenses — sometimes called occupational lenses — are designed for people who spend a lot of time at a desk, computer, or working at mid-range distances.

They give you clear, relaxed vision across the whole working area — from reading distance to a few metres away — perfect for screens, meetings, and creative work.

Unlike varifocals, they prioritise comfort and clarity in the near and mid zones, so you get:

✅ Better posture
✅ Less neck and shoulder tension
✅ A wider, more natural field of view
✅ Easier focus for longer

They’re especially loved by:
• Vets, surgeons & dentists
• Traders & studio engineers
• Artists, writers & designers
• Anyone who spends hours in front of a screen

They’re brilliant at work — just remember, they’re not for driving.

“When Convenience Costs Too Much”

Convenience is a wonderful thing — until it starts costing us meaning.

The high street made buying glasses faster, simpler, cheaper — and that’s fine. It works beautifully for many.
But some things lose their magic when they’re rushed.

You can measure a prescription in minutes.
But exploring how your eyes are ageing, how they’re responding to light, or how your lenses could ease eye strain — that takes time.
And while we’re at it, why not make sure your glasses make you look amazing too?

That’s why we chose a slower road.
A quieter one where you sit down, the coffee arrives, and you’re shown things most people never knew existed — frames you’d never have chosen from a wall, but that feel like they were made for you.

It’s not anti–high street. It’s just pro–human.
Because how you see the world — and how the world sees you — both matter.

And when you leave seeing and being seen at your best, you also see yourself a little differently.

That’s when our shared story really begins.

I’ll be honest — I’ve been guilty of trying to do too many things at once. A quick email here, a call there, half-thinking about the next job while someone’s talking to me. And in the middle of it all, I’ve sometimes missed the simple joy of what was actually happening.

We all do it. We create these lists — things we must do, tick off, complete — as if life’s some sort of race. But the truth is, the list is infinite. And we aren’t.

It’s easy to get so busy crossing things off that we forget to notice the moment we’re in. The light through the window. The person in front of us. The breath before we answer.

True clarity isn’t just about eyesight.It’s about presence — being fully here instead of half-there. It’s in the moments when you pause long enough to see properly.

That’s something I notice in our styling appointments too. There’s always a moment where everything slows down — the list, the rush, the noise — and it’s just you, the mirror, and the quiet recognition of that’s me. That’s presence. And that’s where clarity really begins.

So maybe the real question isn’t “How clearly can you see?”
It’s “How present do you want to be?”
