About Theo
Theo is an exquisite Belgian eyewear brand that has been creating unique pieces since 1987, combining bold colours, vintage designs with a modern touch, and individuality into frames that celebrate self-expression.
Born in Belgium in the late 80s, Theo began with two opticians, Wim Somers and Patrick Hoet, who were tired of the ordinary. Their vision was to offer an alternative to mainstream eyewear with frames that combined precision workmanship with artistic design. From its beginnings with a small collection, Theo has grown into an international label, selling glasses in over 50 countries.
Collaboration is a core part of Theo’s identity. Over the years, the company has worked with Belgian and international designers across fashion, architecture, and other disciplines. One collection was born out of bowls of noodles in Japan. Another was designed, taking inspiration from a boat’s sails. Each partnership has opened the door to collections infused with a rich mix of creative perspectives.
Despite its growth, Theo has remained independent and family-run. Today, the company operates from Antwerp, with a dedicated design team continuing to work alongside Patrick Hoet.
Every collection reflects the brand’s long-standing focus on individuality, quality, and creativity.
With Theo, finding a pair of frames that feels like an extension of your character is simple. Find glasses that announce your arrival before you even speak. Playful, fearless and unmistakably Theo.
We are proud to stock Theo Eyewear. Every Theo frame reflects decades of Belgian design innovation, offering eyewear that balances creativity, precision, and everyday wearability.
Theo frames transcend function, offering designs that stand as true expressions of individuality, marked by precision and thoughtful detail.
