Saint Laurent
Paris. Sharp, black, and never trying too hard.
On the shelf in Cheadle and Heald Green. Every frame glazed here with your lenses.
The house
Saint Laurent, and why the frames are more than plastic
Yves Saint Laurent founded the house in Paris in 1961 and gave women the tuxedo. The eyewear keeps that attitude: narrow, sharp, mostly black, with the kind of proportions that look like they were drawn in one line. There is very little decoration. The glamour is in the cut.

Sunglasses first
The shades are the icons; the optical frames follow them
Who they suit
People who dress in a straight line: tailoring, black, no fuss. The cat-eye shapes lift a rounder face; the slim rectangles suit fine features.
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 Saint Laurent glasses on near me?
At Abra & Co in 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 Saint Laurent 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 Saint Laurent 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 Saint Laurent 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 Saint Laurent glasses cost?
Frames across our ranges run from £70 to £850; Saint Laurent 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.
