Our take
Prescription eyewear can be expensive, unfashionable and overly complicated to purchase. Ace & Tate solves this problem by manufacturing and selling high-quality designer eyewear directly to customers.
Unlike more traditional optometrists and eyewear outlets, Ace & Tate's stores are modelled as bright, spacious boutiques. This appeals directly to fashion conscious customers, and has proven lucrative for the company so far. On top of this, the brand offers free eye tests, cutting out unnecessary middlemen.
As the company scales, it must do so without endangering the sustainability of its product if it is to hold onto its impressive following. The brand now operates in several countries, and is looking to grow its operations considerably - most lately opening a number of stores in Spain.
