JF Rey
Marseille. Colour, texture, and frames with a pulse.
On the shelf in Middleton, Cheadle and Heald Green. Every frame glazed here with your lenses.
The house
JF Rey, and why the frames are more than plastic
Jean-François Rey designs in Marseille, and his frames are among the most recognisable in independent eyewear: layered colour, textured metal, temples that look woven or carved, and shapes that never quite behave. There is a JF Rey for a bold face and a quieter one for someone who wants a single detail to catch the light.

Who they suit
Someone who wants people to ask where the glasses came from. Suits a confident face; the finer styles suit anyone who likes one unexpected detail.
A name on the frame does not mean it will suit your face. We bring you a shortlist rather than a wall, and we say gently when one does not work.

Frequently asked questions
Where can I try JF Rey glasses on near me?
At Abra & Co in Middleton, Cheadle and Heald Green. Book an eye test online or ring the practice, and we will have the collection ready for you. If there is a particular model you want, tell us and we will bring it in.
Can I have my prescription in JF Rey frames?
Yes, including varifocals and high prescriptions. We measure and fit the lenses here. Single vision lenses run from £109 to £499, and every option is shown with its price before you decide.
Do you sell JF Rey sunglasses?
Yes, and we glaze them with your prescription, including tinted and polarised lenses. Ask when you book and we will have the sunglass collection out for you.
What if JF Rey does not suit my face?
Then we will say so, kindly, and show you what does. A name on the frame does not mean it will suit you; that is the first thing we say about every brand. And if you buy and change your mind within sixty days, we change the frame or the lenses at no charge.
How much do JF Rey glasses cost?
Frames across our ranges run from £70 to £850; JF Rey sits towards the upper part of that. Lenses are priced separately and shown before you decide. Pay half today and spread the rest over 4, 6, 8 or 10 months, interest free, with nothing added.
