About us

 

Sustainable Eyewear with a Purpose

At Retrospecced, we believe in giving vintage, retro, and designer frames a new lease of life. As a qualified optician with over 15 years of experience, I’m passionate about eyewear and sustainability—so taking Retrospecced on its next adventure was a natural step.

Upcycled Eyewear, Ethical Fashion

Retrospecced was born from a commitment to sustainable fashion. By choosing upcycled eyewear, you're making a conscious choice to reduce waste and support a circular economy. Our refurbished frames are not only stylish but also affordable—bringing you high-quality, unique eyewear at a fraction of the cost.

Changing Lives Through Vision

We proudly partner with The Zikomo Trust in Malawi, Lions Club International, and previously Vision Aid Overseas to provide spectacles and vision care to underserved communities. Your purchase directly supports these initiatives, helping people in developing regions to see, work, and build a better future.

As a qualified optician, I’m always on hand to offer expert advice on lenses and frames. Whether you need prescription glasses or sunglasses, our professional glazing house can customise your eyewear for both function and style.

A Greener, Brighter Future

Our mission is simple: to combine sustainable fashion with social impact. Every frame you choose helps reduce waste and supports life-changing vision care across the world. Together, we can make a difference—one pair of glasses at a time.
