Zest Optical are partnering with one of the most revered names in luxury eyewear to recruit an ambitious and highly polished Sales Assistant for their flagship boutique in Knightsbridge. This is a rare opportunity to join a design‑led house with a global following, where exceptional client experience and high‑value sales go hand in hand.

About the Brand

Born in 1969, this independent British eyewear brand has earned cult status among creatives, tastemakers, and influential figures worldwide. Every frame is handcrafted in Italy, blending artisanal skill with bold design and deep cultural heritage.

Celebrated for originality, craftsmanship, and timeless appeal, the brand sits at the intersection of luxury fashion, art, and culture - never mass‑produced, always distinctive.

The Role

This position is perfect for someone who thrives in an elevated retail environment and takes pride in creating exceptional client journeys that translate into meaningful commercial success.

You will:

• Deliver a warm, bespoke client experience with confidence, style, and refinement
• Build deep client relationships, developing a strong book of loyal clientele
• Engage clients in thoughtful, consultative conversations - understanding lifestyle, taste, and personal style
• Convert considered service into high‑value sales, often worth tens of thousands
• Support boutique operations including appointments, stock care, and immaculate presentation
• Represent the brand with authenticity, confidence, and passion for craftsmanship

About You

• Proven experience in luxury retail - fashion, accessories, jewellery, or similar
• Demonstrated success in building client relationships and driving high‑value sales
• Naturally confident in working with discerning clients from around the world
• Polished communication, exceptional emotional intelligence, and genuine warmth
• Creative eye for style and detail, with a love for design and luxury culture
• Ambitious, commercially aware, and motivated by delivering results the right way

You don't need optical experience - just the passion, polish, and presence to deliver an exceptional luxury retail experience.

Why Join?

• Up to 32,000 base salary + significant commission potential (realistic earnings into tens of thousands)
• Work with a globally respected brand and beautiful, handcrafted product
• Long‑term career development within an iconic luxury house
• Join a close‑knit, knowledgeable, and creative boutique team
