Bailey Nelson (BN) was born from the desire to change the way we view eye care.
In 2012, Peter Winkle and Nick Perry took out a stall at Bondi Beach Markets offering quality eyewear frames at affordable prices.
By removing exorbitant price tags, blah service and compromised options (or joy blockers in our eyes), we’ve been able to bring the joy back to eye care and flip the tired ‘I HAVE TO’ situation into a joyful ‘I GET TO’ moment. BN are devoted to bringing joy to eye care so you can continue seeing life in the best possible way.
The BN design team in Sydney are working across the seasons creating incredible on-trend frames so you’ll always look a million bucks. Book a bulk billed eye test with one of BN’s friendly optometrist who will help you find the perfect frames for your face.
Look better with BN.
