We offer quality frames
All of our frames are designed by us in Amsterdam, and we oversee all steps — from mood board to finished product — so we can offer you quality frames at transparent prices, starting at €100.
We only use the good stuff, from the acetate and metal we make our glasses with, to our top-notch lenses. We work with some of the best suppliers in the world, so best believe your frames will be just right. Find out more about what goes into our frames here.

We work together
Over the years, we’ve become pretty tight with our partners. We have a direct line of communication with our suppliers, to establish a two-way level of trust and respect. That’s how we’re able to maintain a high standard, and it feels good to get to know the people we work with.
We have also partnered up with QIMA to do the technical stuff for us. They conduct both quality controls and audits in order to measure the performance, social accountability and quality management systems. We use the information they provide to make improvements in the supply chain.

Ace & Tate HQ, Amsterdam (NL)
We’re proud to work with a dream team of in-house designers at our Amsterdam headquarters. They oversee the whole design process — from mood boards and material research, sketching from scratch, to fit and quality checks. They also talk to and visit our partners in Italy and China. And yes, we’re jealous they get to go on factory trips.

Lens suppliers
We work with a couple of different lens suppliers, to keep up with demand. Our Dutch supplier is family-owned and has more than 100 years of experience in the industry.
Our other supplier is based in Thailand, although the company is Japanese. They’ve been producing specialised ophthalmic lenses for decades, so they’re rightly considered one of the top three lens manufacturers in the world.
Visiting both is always a treat, whether it’s around the corner for tea and stroopwafels, or to top up our tans in Thailand (we do get some work done, too).
