Maxine Leigh was founded by Alannah Maxine Cope and Lucy Leigh Nickerson, best friends turned business women who grew up in the UAE and shared an appreciation for elevated everyday eyewear.
We created the brand because the market was divided between fast fashion and overpriced luxury. Quality was inconsistent, fit was often overlooked, and well constructed frames felt unnecessarily expensive.
We believed premium quality should feel accessible.
Designed in the UAE using premium Italian acetate, every frame is developed with intention, balancing weight, proportion and structure to ensure comfort from morning to evening.
After three and a half years of refinement, the collection focuses on timeless shapes you can reach for again and again. We do not chase trends. We design frames intended to outlast them, holding their form and relevance beyond seasons while fitting effortlessly into your day to day life.
Welcome to Maxine Leigh.
