The collection of 'Crooked Soul' frames have been designed, developed and manufactured by London based agency, Mellor & Scott Design.

Paul Mellor, Design Director at Mellor & Scott Design:

We have designed the collection from scratch, creating a collection of frames that push the boundaries of what can be achieved within a limited retail price. These are the types of frames and high-end details you would expect to find on premium goods sold at £200, but River Island and ourselves have worked hard so the frames can be sold at £24.99 yet still offer the added value offered by premium frames.”
