Meet Bill Bass – Quality Eyewear That Doesn’t Cost the Earth

We’re always on the lookout for frames that tick every box, well made, great to wear, easy on the wallet, and built to last. The Bill Bass range does exactly that, which is why it’s earned a spot on our frame wall.

A brand with real history

Bill Bass has been crafting eyewear for more than thirty years, with a simple philosophy that hasn’t changed: make genuinely good frames at a fair price. No gimmicks, no inflated designer mark-ups, just quality eyewear built for everyday life.

The craftsmanship

What sets Bill Bass apart is how the frames are made. Each one is hand-finished from premium Italian-style acetate, with the kind of attention to detail you’d usually only find in pricier labels. Pair that with high-quality lenses and you’ve got frames that feel as good as they look and hold up to daily wear.

The styling is classic rather than trend-driven, which means a Bill Bass frame won’t look dated in a year’s time. These are frames you’ll genuinely enjoy reaching for, season after season.

Protection that matters

Living in Hawke’s Bay, sun protection isn’t optional. The Bill Bass sunglass range offers polarised lens options and 100% UV protection, cutting glare and keeping your eyes shielded whether you’re out on the water, driving, or simply making the most of a sunny day.

Made to your prescription

Best of all, the entire range is scriptable. Found a frame you love? We can make it up to your exact prescription, whether that’s distance, reading, or multifocal lenses, and yes, that includes the sunnies. You don’t have to choose between clear vision and a frame you actually want to wear.

Come and try them on

The best way to find your perfect pair is to try a few. Visit us at Grant & Douglas and our team will help you explore the Bill Bass range, talk through your options, and find a frame that suits your face, your lifestyle, and your script.
