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.

The eyewear trends set to make waves in 2023

We’ve taken down all the Christmas decorations, packed away the tinsel and hoovered up the pine needles. Although we thoroughly enjoyed the festivities, we’re excited to start to look forward to 2023 and all the fun and interesting things it may bring. Like trade fairs.

Industry events are back in full swing this year. We will be visiting some of these events around Europe later in 2023 and to say we are excited is an understatement. Although we are always mindful of the impact travelling has on the planet. And we don’t like to be away from the store for too long. So, we look carefully at which trade fairs will be the most beneficial and the best use of our time. We are always keen to source new products in a more eco-conscious way. However, we need to meet suppliers, see new innovative products, familiarise ourselves with new processes being launched into the optical market and seek out new eyewear collections for our Manor Walk store.
