From Breaking Glasses to a Booming Brand

about us

Like superheroes, our brand also has an inspiring origin. Okay, it didn“t involve any radioactive spider bites, but it“s a lot more relatable. Our founder, Sid, broke his eyeglasses just one day before his semester exams. Wandering through Manchester City Centre in search of a replacement, he encountered only overpriced or mediocre options. The glasses he fancied were locked behind high-security displays, priced steeply at over £150. After reluctantly paying a small fortune without the chance to properly try them on, the glasses arrived—too late for his exams. Hope was lost here, but direction and purpose were found.

Sid realised that eyewear, much like shoes, should come with options that cater to different needs and occasions without breaking the bank or compromising on quality. Driven by this idea, Sid envisioned a brand where selecting glasses would be as enjoyable and straightforward as choosing a pair of shoes for different occasions—hence our tagline, “A Frame for Every Game.“

This vision gave rise to Specscart: an award-winning startup, on a mission to revolutionise the eyewear industry by changing the way people perceive glasses, from being a tool of sight correction to a sustainably made fashion accessory, that is a true joy to wear.

Specscart's Logo - A Story Behind the Symbol

At Specscart, even our logo tells a story.

The Symbol

At first glance, it represents a pair of glasses, but there s more to it. The shape also forms an infinity symbol, reflecting endless possibilities ahead of us. And if you look closely, you ll see a horizontal S hidden within the design. The angular, sharp lines in our logo aren t just for style they symbolise precision and dependability. We might be young and restless, but we re always professional in everything we do.

Word Mark

The name Specscart is a combination of two words: Specs, which represents spectacles, and Cart, symbolising variety and quantity. It emphasises the idea that you should be able to shop for multiple pairs of frames at once, catering to different styles and occasions—just like how you d shop for shoes.

Why the dot (.)

The dot at the end of our logo signifies a sense of completion your search ends here for all your eyewear needs.
