YOU KEEP SAYING 'GENUINE' VINTAGE - WHATS THE DIFFERENCE?
95%of our frames are genuinely old stock and may be 15 or 20 years old or more - BUT ARE NEW AND UNWORN. In other words they are the "real thing" and not just copies made in China yesterday (which is Retro or Vintage 'style'). Because of this we may only have a few (or even just one) pair and when they are gone we cannot obtain more.

WHAT DO THE SIZES MEAN (LIKE 48 -19 -135) ?
The three numbers indicate:
The WIDTH of each lens, frame to frame (excluding the frame itself)
The BRIDGE WIDTH is the narrowest point between the lenses (NOT between the frame)
The ARM LENGTH
Additionally, we try and also give the full face width, bracket to bracket.

All sizes are approximate.

CAN I SEARCH FOR A PARTICULAR SIZE?
Yes - using the search box (top left of screen) you can enter something like 45 18 135 and any frames with those dimensions will show in results. NOTE however, that the system tries to help by also showing "near" sizes, so a search for 45 18 135 may show a result for 45 19 135 too.

DO YOU FIT LENSES TOO?
YEs, but please note that if a frame is fitted with your prescription prior to despatch then this means that they have been specifically personalised for you and cannot be returned.

See the Buying Prescription Lenses HERE

If you want special finishes, lens types etc etc you are welcome to email or call and we will give you a fixed price.

WHAT IF THEY DON'T SUIT ME?
We offer a 10 day return guarantee (the first day being the day after delivery).If for any reason you don't want to keep the frame you can simply return it to us. See here . Note that if you had lenses fitted prior to despatch we regret that we cannot accept returns as the item has been personalised.

I HAVE RECEIVED MY FRAMES BUT THEY SEEM A LITTLE OUT OF SHAPE?
Most of our frames are genuine vintage and as such may have been in storage for years. Frames continously pressed together during storage whilst in the closed position can sometimes become slightly out of shape / twisted. This is normal, and your optician will reset the shape when he fits your lenses.

WHY DON'T ALL OF YOUR GLASSES COME WITH BRANDED CASES?
Our stock is mostly vintage spectacle frames sourced from opticians and wholesalers throughout the UK. With bulk transactions, it was often the situation that frame, case & accesories were received and stored seperately by the businesses...as such, after many years in storage, often only the frames themselves are left. We do always try and ensure that most of the frames we send out are in hard cases.
