Theo
Theo makes some of the most joyfully non-conformist eyewear you'll find — bold colour, unexpected shapes and a refusal to take itself too seriously.
Belgian-designed and beautifully finished in acetate and titanium, built to last and made to be noticed. Glasses that are unmistakably yours.
Where can I buy Theo in South Africa?
Theo is stocked at OPTIK, Shop SL24, Melrose Arch, Johannesburg — next door to Woolworths. Optik is a proudly authorised Theo stockist, with every frame sourced directly from the house or its authorised distributor. Come in to try them on, or enquire on WhatsApp and we'll help you find the right pair.
Where is Theo eyewear made?
Theo is designed in Antwerp, Belgium, where it has been an independent, optician-founded house since the late 1980s. Its acetate and titanium frames are hand-finished in Europe.
How do you pronounce Theo?
It is said Tay-oh. The Antwerp house was founded by two opticians and named in the same playful spirit as its frames.
What makes Theo frames distinctive?
Bold colour, witty shapes and a refusal to be beige — beautifully finished in acetate and titanium, and made to be noticed rather than to blend in.
THEO IS STOCKED AT OPTIK, MELROSE ARCH, JOHANNESBURG.
