Introducing Coral Earth, a new collection from Coral Eyewear

It’s always an exciting time when we take delivery of new releases from our partner brands. As a rule, most eyewear brands release new models or colours twice a year, once in the Spring and again in the Autumn. It makes sense as it mirrors when we usually change our wardrobes from Summer to Winter outfits.

Here at Respectacle Company, we have recently received some stunning new frames from Coral Eyewear. As you may know, Coral has been producing glasses since 2019, and we love the way they do it. George and Calvin recycle plastics from old fishing nets and rubbish salvaged from the sea. They produce lovely tactile, environmentally friendly eyewear from these recycled materials.

What’s new from FEB31st eyewear

Feb31st

With it being February, it feels like the perfect opportunity to highlight one of our favourite brands here at Respectacle Company. Of course, we love all our collections – each brings a different perspective to eyewear. However, it’s a bit like having children. We love them all equally. But each brand has attributes which make them unique and individual.

FEB31st is an eyewear collection made from wood. So, why is it called FEB31st, given the date doesn’t exist? The manufacture of wooden spectacle frames was said to be impossible. The company’s founders were told it wouldn’t be possible. But the FEB31st team set about proving that incorrect. And today they produce exquisite handmade, bespoke eyewear in the colour combination of your choice. The name seemed to fit perfectly.

Glasses wearing celebrities like what we like

As a small independent optical boutique, when we opened almost seven years ago, we decided not to stock what we refer to as mass-produced handbag brands. Our aim at Respectacle Company has always been to offer high-quality, well-engineered eyewear and ophthalmic lenses. Mass-produced products are poorer in quality and not something we offer. Read more
