We’ve always had a soft spot for eyewear that goes beyond the ordinary and stands out from the crowd. And if it’s sustainable and customisable, we’re drawn to it even more. Italian eyewear brand FEB31st fits that description perfectly. Crafted with personality, eco-conscious materials, and timeless Italian craftsmanship, FEB31st redefines what it means to wear glasses, combining style, innovation, and sustainability in every frame.
At Respectacle Company, we’re always shouting about the new eyewear that’s just landed and how excited we are about the latest shapes and colours. But most of the time it’s all about the lovely colourful ladies’ eyewear we stock. So, we thought showcasing some of our more masculine frames was long overdue.
These days, the distinction between men’s and women’s eyewear frames is less pronounced because many styles are interchangeable. However, there are still some independent eyewear brands that offer frames that are more traditionally masculine in terms of shape, size, and colour.
Here at our independent opticians in Market Harborough, we don’t tend to follow fashion trends – they come and go quite quickly. One season, it’s all about heavy, square, black acetate frames, and a few months later, lightweight, thin, oversized metal frames are in style.
As the UK experienced another hot weekend, Chris was lucky enough to be invited by Ørgreen Optics, along with a selection of representatives from independent opticians across Europe, to escape to the slightly cooler climate of Copenhagen in Denmark.
Here at Respectacle, we’ve built a strong reputation in and around Market Harborough for our unique and distinctive eyewear. In fact, our styling expertise has earned us national recognition, with two prestigious awards for frame styling and eyewear retailing. So, when it comes to curating and showcasing our eyewear collections to our customers, we like to think we know what we’re doing!
Our reputation has really grown over the past few years, and it’s been lovely to see so many customers travelling from far and wide to visit us here on Manor Walk in Market Harborough. It’s great that more people are realising you don’t have to go to big cities like London, Manchester, or Edinburgh to find high-fashion eyewear – you can discover amazing styles from independent eyewear designers right here in Market Harborough.
