Thinner, Lighter Frames and Cosmetic Tints Are In
Global colour authority Pantone has revealed its Colour of the Year for 2025, and it’s a shade we can wholeheartedly get behind! The chosen colour is Mocha Mousse, a warm brown hue with earthy undertones. This comforting colour is unpretentious as a timeless classic with a depth of richness and sophistication. Think of coffee and chocolate – warm, comforting and soothing. It’s giving 2010 Ripple advert vibes!
As 2024 comes to a close and we prepare to welcome 2025, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on this past year and remember what we’ve experienced. Although I say this every year, it truly feels like this year has flown by.
January marked our eighth birthday! Time has gone by so quickly; I can’t believe it’s been eight years since we first opened the doors of Respectacle Company here in Manor Walk, Market Harborough. At this rate, I should start planning how to celebrate our tenth birthday!
So, Emily is back in Paris. Finally, after a whopping 20-month wait – the third season aired in December 2022! Having enjoyed the previous three seasons, I was excited to see the first half of season four drop on Netflix in August, with the concluding half of the series having just recently reached our screens.
Whilst the show is full of pretty people and focuses on Emily’s love interests (FYI, I can never decide whether I’m Team Alfie or Team Gabriel!), I find myself tuning in each season to see the bold fashion looks, some of which are frighteningly over the top. But then, that’s half the fun!
We recently held a small trunk show at our store on Manor Walk to showcase one of our favourite collections, L.G.R. We’ve stocked L.G.R since we opened in 2016. It’s a classic collection made from quality materials and components in Italy. The event was a great success, with many customers visiting the store and enjoying the beautiful frames created by L.G.R.
You’ve probably already heard the story behind L.G.R, as we tell it often enough. But even if you have, read on to discover more about this gorgeous handmade eyewear from Italy.
