Picture yourself getting ready for an important event, and everything seems perfect- your outfit, shoes and bag, but it still feels incomplete. Something in your overall look is missing- maybe some accessories. When I talk about accessories, one thing that instantly comes to my mind is a pair of eyeglasses.

The other day, while catching up with some friends, we ended up talking about how important it is to have a good pair of designer glasses. Since I’ve been in the eyewear industry for a while now, I often get asked whether investing in designer frames is actually worth it.

My response? “First impressions count.” And let’s face it, your eyeglasses are often the first thing people notice. So, just like I help my friends navigate the eyewear maze, I’m here to do the same for you. Here’s why designer eyeglasses are well worth the investment. 

Why Should You Buy Designer Eyewear?

Why Should You Buy Designer Eyewear

When someone walks by us, we often look at what type of sunglasses or eyeglasses they are wearing- not sure about everyone, but most of us do. That’s because designer eyewear is incredibly fashion-forward, and you get styles that are fresh off the runway.

While shopping for designer eyeglasses, we often look for high-end brands as they offer premium quality, great finishes, trendy designs, and durable materials. You can easily distinguish between your regular pair of eyeglasses and designer ones with just a glance and feel of the material. But they come at a very hefty price, and spending that much on one frame is not really a great idea.

We believe in “A Frame For Every Game” and don’t want you to limit yourself to having only one. Just like other designer eyeglasses brands in the market, our glasses are made from premium materials like acetate, metal, and wood to offer long-term durability and a high-end finish. We have our in-house brands Tom Archer, Marc Fabein and Actics, which feature premium and fashion-forward frames at 70% lower prices than the high street.

It’s not just the quality of the frames, we focus on a premium experience as well. All our frames come with free, clea,r fully loaded lenses that include anti-glare, anti-UV, anti-scratch and impact-resistant coatings. Your glasses come with a reusable box that contains a hardshell vegan leather case, a designer microfibre cleaning cloth, cleaning solution, and a keychain screwdriver for free.

We operate on a no-middleman model, which allows us to have better quality control and keep the prices lower. Our state-of-the-art glazing lab in Manchester has the widest lens bank in the UK, where our optical technicians with a combined experience of over 100 years handcraft your glasses to the highest standards of British precision.
