Leading the company year on year to what is now a successful British brand, Robert William Morris continues to pledge his ideas and creativity that first launched the brand over twenty years ago.

Our Founder continues to illustrate a spirit that has helped to create our British inspired eyewear collections that are so fondly embraced today.

Our Creator & Founder, Robert William Morris, established William Morris London, with the inspiration to create quintessentially British eyewear designs with a creative and modern flare. Operating the business within a small office packed with frames was the starting grounds to the growth of a fundamentally British Brand.

London collection was born, taking inspiration from the streets of London with punchy colours and diverse shapes and styles, this collection has undertaken an adventurous journey, from keeping up with the forever changing fashion trends with a twist on British culture to our bestselling collection in the UK.

William Morris presents Black Label, a high-end premium collection, with daring styles and eccentric colour ways for those striving for a bold and luxurious look. The collection takes its direction from the runway and applies it to the styles you see today, unravelling ones alter ego and delivering high impact. The Black Label collection has diversified globally and is our bestselling collection in Europe, and very recently South Africa.
