Special glasses & exceptional service

I met Emily at a vintage fair and immediately found a pair of frames I loved after spending months looking for something unique on the high street. Emily is a total pro and gives great advice on what suits your face shape, and the service was seamless - emailed my prescription and had my glasses in a week. There was no unnecessary upsell on lenses either, so the price point is very good. I'm obsessed and already planning another purchase!

I LOVE them!!!!

As a prescription glasses wearer, I’ve struggled to find sunglasses that fit my style my entire life. That’s now no longer the case. I was able to go and try on different styles before I purchased and they were fit to me so they fit me perfectly. Will definitely be coming back and recommending to friends

Fabulous frames

I have ordered two pairs of prescription glasses with Emily now, one I ordered at a vintage fair event and the second through a styling appointment. Both times I have been really happy with the level of service and quality of glasses I have received. Emily was so helpful with everything from styling to providing advice on lens types to suit the frames I chose. If you want some designer, vintage or really unique glasses with tonnes of personality, this is absolutely the business to come to!
