Mersey Beat is a new eyewear collection designed by Optiqueline’s John Nicola and team, inspired by the Liverpool beat music scene of the early 1960s. “Our shared passion for the UK music scene and the rock and roll heroes of this era inspired the design. The collection is full of personality, created for the fashion forward and the young at heart,” Nicola said.

The collection includes 22 unique models for men and women, available in acetate, monel, carbon fibre and stainless-steel featuring keyhole bridges, sprung and non-sprung temples and carbon fibre elements. Solid riveted hinges reflect the retro era and 3D printed and etched temples add a decorative touch.

Each frame comes with a Mersey Beat soft case and lens cloth referencing Liverpool club scene. Distributed by Optiqueline
