Monocle Without Gallery

We just love monocles and always smile approvingly when we see someone sporting a fine specimen. We supply quite a variety in gold or silver colour which have always been our mainstay, but recently we've introduced a gold coloured monocle without a gallery . Tricky you might think? Well, we are reliably informed that for some it can be the perfect fit.

A Fine Monocle Cord Indeed

For those who love their traditional eyewear, we have recently added this fine, black monocle cord to the optical accessories section.

Half-Moon Specs

Recently added are these super little half-moon reading glasses in a semi rimless spectacle frame. • lenses professionally glazed in the UK • peer over the top • flex hinges • gunmetal or gold coloured frames

Rimless Eyewear

This fashionable style of rimless eyewear has been glazed with a medium sized reading lens with a height of 23mm. It is very comfortable to wear and has silver coloured flexible temples and a matching nose bridge. • It may be helpful to know that the glazing service for these spectacles is undertaken by a U.K. optical laboratory and despatch may take 10 - 14 days.

An Appearance in Tatler

We were only too happy to help when contacted recently by Tatler for their main fashion story featured in September's issue. The shoot called "A game of Cluedo" dressed each of the characters with killer style and placed them in rooms where the deadly deed perhaps took place... Colonel Mustard, in the study with a dagger, looked suitably composed as she scrutinised the reader from behind her yellow gold monocle - challenging the notion that monocles are the preserve of men!

Superior Cords to Compliment Colourful Glasses

When we take a (quick!) lunch break we always look forward to the BBC's Bargain Hunt and we especially enjoy watching the cheery host Tim " let's go bargain hunting " Wonnacott who never appears to wear the same pair of reading glasses twice. Well done Tim! The retaining cords attached to his glasses are also noteworthy and often as brightly coloured as the spectacles. We feel that a good quality glasses cord of a heavier weight and with strong rubber grippers is important to firmly secure the specs. As you might expect our cords are readily available in a variety of colours to suit even the most discerning, and we think they're well worth a punt.

Magnification Sorted!

We have a number of low vision magnifying aids for reading on the website and Eschenbach's excellent gold coloured pendant magnifier is extremely useful for reading and enhancing fine newspaper or magazine print. We think it's an exceptionally well made and stylish item! By the way it's also available in a silver colour too: silver pendant magnifier high quality imported from Germany magnification 3.5x lens diamter 40mm
