Port Tanger is an eyewear brand founded in 2020 by stylist Vanessa Reid and photographer Bibi Borthwick along with her husband. Inspired by the cultural crossroads of Tangier — a city that bridges Europe and Africa — the brand reflects what a traveler seeks: authentic experiences, stories, and a connection to place. Each frame is carefully handmade in Japan using high-quality acetate, hardware inserts, and nylon lenses that provide 100% UVA/UVB protection. Port Tanger blends tradition with modernity, fusing Moroccan heritage, travel‑diary aesthetics, and meticulous craftsmanship to create eyewear that celebrates individuality, storytelling, and timeless design.
