OP & TOM opened in October 2017 and we chose High Bridge primarily as it has such an eclectic mix of independent shops and restaurants. It is also (in our opinion) the prettiest street in Newcastle with character and charm in abundance.
The ethos of OP & TOM is cool and quirky with a relaxed, pretence free vibe. We want people to feel they can come in to shop, have fun trying on different frames and enjoy the experience. If you leave the shop feeling happy then we have done what we set out to do.
We believe in letting people know the price at the start not the end - Other than our 'Craft range' all our frames are the same price and they all come with anti-reflection lenses as standard. This means there are no awkward chats after your eye test where we offer you expensive up grades and add-ons.
Our recently introduced 'Craft range' of frames are an additional £50.
