TAKING FLIGHT
KITE WAS BORN OUT OF A LOVE
FOR FASHION AND EYECARE, AND A
DESIRE TO CREATE A NEW BREED OF
OPTICIANS TO CELEBRATE BOTH.
We couldn’t help feeling that the
industry we love had lost its mojo.
A trip to high street opticians left
us feeling more like a number than
an individual. Uninspiring, strangely
similar frame designs stared out
from white walls. The hard sell was
overpowering and unhelpful. The
experience was crying out for the
personal touch of the good-old days,
shaken up with a fresh twist for today.
So, we gathered together the
industry’s forward thinkers, set
about creating our wish-list optician
experience… and KITE took off.
