Thank you to everyone who joined us for our inaugural Orgreen Eyewear Trunk Show at Respectacle Company on Friday, 4th September. Your energy, curiosity and enthusiasm made the day something truly special. It was a celebration of great design, independent eyewear, community spirit and, most importantly, the joy of finding a pair of glasses that feels like you.

In Part One of our eyewear politics blog, we explored the main parties of the eyewear political spectrum. The Bold campaigners. The Edgy rebels. The Subtle diplomats. The Classic traditionalists. The Minimalist technocrats. And the Activists who believe beige is a political statement in itself.
But what if none of them sounds like you? Or, perhaps more likely, what if all of them sound a little bit like you? Well, welcome to Part Two of our eyewear political series, where things get considerably less straightforward. Because when it comes to glasses, there is one very important rule we stand by at Respectacle Company: You are allowed to change your mind.
Whether it’s your first eye examination or you’re looking for a fresh approach to your eye care, visiting a new optician can feel a little daunting. At Respectacle Company in Market Harborough, we take pride in offering independent, personalised eye care in a welcoming and relaxed environment – so you feel at ease from the moment you walk through the door.
As soon as you arrive at our Manor Walk practice, you’ll notice the difference. As independent opticians rooted in the local community, we’ve created a space that feels welcoming and relaxed – think more boutique than clinical. You’ll be greeted with a warm welcome and a genuine interest in your wellbeing. Our practice’s comfortable waiting area is designed to help you unwind before your eye examination, with the option of a tea or coffee while you settle in.
As we head into 2026, it’s the perfect time to explore the eyewear trends set to define the year ahead. From bold new frame shapes and innovative materials to fresh, eye-catching colourways, 2026 eyewear trends are all about self-expression, individuality, and finding frames that truly reflect your personal style. Whether you’re looking to update your everyday glasses or simply enjoy keeping up with the latest in eyewear fashion, this year offers something for every look and personality.
