Amazing sunglasses, truly great service
As returning customer I have to say it was another lovely experience! Emily takes amazing care to make sure you get you the right product, shipping is quick - even from the UK to Germany - and the glasses are just ace. I love the brown tint of the lenses and the sturdy, yet lightweight frame. Quality stuff. Also worth to mention is that the sizing of the Mod 1 sunglasses is absolutely great to fit a lot of face types. Once again, I’m very pleased!

Delivery man did not press bell at block of flats. This risked the product being taken by someone else.

Fabulous selection of good quality glasses. Quick delivery, but found postage to return one pair of glasses, quite expensive.

Antique frameless glasses
I sent a pair of delicate antique frameless sunglasses to Retro Spectacle to have the prescription lenses replaced by plano. The work was done promptly and to a very high standard. The glasses have been rejuvenated. Would definitely recommend.

The Absolute BEST around!!
I have been meaning to leave a review for a few months now, so I apologise for the delay.
I ordered my Mod1 sunglasses in June. Within a few minutes of placing my order Emily contacted me to let me know that I had made a mistake with my prescription.
I have never known a glasses place to pick up on an order so quickly!
The customer service from Retro Spectical is second to none!
I absolutely love them and my prescription lense sunglasses arrived within a few DAYS of me ordering them.
I am normally left a month or so after ordering glasses online, but Emily nailed it!!!
Thank you:)
