ISOHYPSE - a line on a map that connects points of equal elevation above sea level.

From theo's ISOLINES – Subtle in sight, precise in style. A frame drawn like a line on the map of your face

ISOBAR - lines on a weather map connecting locations with the same atmospheric pressure.

Fluro Pink and Purple Shine... bold colours, but sleek structure for some subtle Groovy! If you've like a theo round frame in the past ISOBAR might be the perfect way to change up your style.

Did you notice the continuous line of purple around the frame front? The second colour comes from the back!

ISOLINES – Subtle in sight, precise in style

A frame drawn like a line on the map of your face
In cartography, isolines connect points of equal value, bringing structure to a landscape without overpowering it. That’s exactly what ISOLINES does: it reveals refinement through a line that guides without imposing.
theo eyewear translates this principle into a collection of ultra-light metal frames, built from fine stainless-steel lines. Each frame features a bi-color front and a monochrome inner side — a balance between expression and calm.

ISOLINES – Drawn to define.

ISOGON - a line on a map connecting points of equal value, such as wind direction or magnetic declination

We have two ISOGON in store in Fluro Red and Elly Blue ready and waiting for you to try on..

Anne et Valentin BIKOKO

I can't decide, Groovers, if I need to order every model of the BAKKELITE series in in this yummy orange jelly colour way or maybe Christchurch can only handle one at a time?? It certain has garnered many 'ohhh LOOK that colour! Well, that is summer in a frame! Am I bold enough to wear orange because that looks so yummy? (hint: yes, you very definitely are bold enough! Life is too short for boring glasses after all!)'

25C04 is available in all 4 BAKKELITE models - come along to the showcase on November 26th, 2025 to try BIKOKO and see if its for you... or if BAKEBA, BAKOTO or BATEKE is the shape that fits your face best!

Anne et Valentin BERGEN

We've seen BERGEN before Groovers - in a beautiful 'subtly groovy' crystal grey and peach. But this time team the cunning designers at Anne&Valentin went to the dark side - when its inside, this new 2025 colour masquerades as a brown frame, but outside... well outside the sun shines through it and you find it's the deepest darkest Ruby red!

Or perhaps if wine is more your speed - a beautiful, deep Syrah.

A little bit oval, a tiny hint cat this shape suits nearly every face and is quite a good shape for those Groovers who find frames that are a little wider but not deeper fit them best.

Same same... but different?

A fresh delivery from Spain means we've got new Etnia stock in store, Groovers!

MARC and LONG are out of the same frame family with Etnia, but as you can tell they are from opposing ends of the colour spectrum, and both very, very attractive on.

Blueish teal and golden tortoiseshell mix together in a classic rectangular square for MARC and bold orange and havana pair for the LONG in a panto shape (a little curvy and little square all at the same time).

Ready to take the next step up from classic tortoiseshell Groovers? Here's the perfect way of doing it!

Anne&Valentin BAKATO

Groovers, did you have a mum or a grandmother who used to wear an arm full of colourful, patterned, click-clackety bangles on their arm? Chances are if they were of a certain age they were made of bakelite - just like the vintage telephones we have on display at Groovy Glasses!

Bold, yet sleek with their raised decoration around the lens and down the temple, the Bakkelite family will certainly make you stand out from the crowd with their beautiful jelly-like colours and traditional tortoise, blues and blacks.

We have two BAKATO in store now, just waiting for you to try them on - or come see the whole family on November 26th during the showcase (12pm-4pm)

Fresh from the Silmo trade show the BAKKELITE series from Anne&Valentin.

Apparently I hit the order button at the same moment the new Anne&Valentin models went live on the website, Groovers, so we were the first shipped the new models in NZ/AUS! More photos to follow!

The name might ping a memory for you Groovers - Bakelite is the first fully synthetic plastic, invented by Leo Baekeland in 1907 - its a very recognizable, iconic look for vintage jewelry, radios, kitchenware ... so many different places.

The texture across the temples and front of the frames absolutely is wonderful homage to that revolutionary material but mixed with the classic shapes of Anne&Valentin. A little bit of modern vintage if you will!

We will have the whole range of frames available for viewing during our Anne&Valentin Trunk show on November 26th - a perfect chance to make use of our $300 off second pairs of glasses offer with Hoya lenses!

ISOLINES – Subtle in sight, precise in style

A frame drawn like a line on the map of your face

In cartography, isolines connect points of equal value, bringing structure to a landscape
without overpowering it. That’s exactly what ISOLINES does: it reveals refinement through
a line that guides without imposing.

theo eyewear translates this principle into a collection of ultra-light metal frames, built from
fine stainless-steel lines. Each frame features a bicolor front and a monochrome inner side —
a balance between expression and calm.

The seven models, from Isobar to Isopache, are named after cartographic isolines and show
how design, technique, and subtlety come together.
