The house
Montblanc, and why the frames are more than plastic
Montblanc has made writing instruments in Hamburg since 1906, and the Meisterstück fountain pen is still the one people mean when they say fountain pen. The eyewear borrows its language: the white star, black resin and precious metal, precise engineering and a preference for quiet over loud. These are frames for people who own good things and do not need to explain them.

Who they suit
People who wear a good watch and a plain shirt. Fine metal frames for a narrow face; the acetate styles add weight to a small face without shouting.
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 Montblanc glasses on near me?
At Abra & Co in Cheadle. 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 Montblanc 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 Montblanc 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 Montblanc 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.

Frames across our ranges run from £70 to £850; Montblanc 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.
