Light, well equipped.
The name is two halves: air, for light frames and clear sight, and qip, as in equip. airqip is the equipment for seeing well in something you love wearing.
The best eyewear in the world is made by small houses: a family in Treviso, a workshop in Aarhus, a designer in Sabae. Their frames rarely show up online in a way that tells you whether they will fit, and finding a shop that stocks them takes phone calls.
airqip puts the brands' own catalogues and measurements in one place, scores each frame against your face, and lists the independent opticians nearby who carry them. You arrive knowing what to try and in which size.
Frame names, images and measurements come from the brands and link back to them. airqip is edited by David Bussell.
