🌍 Why Sustainable Eyewear Is More Than A Trend
The conversation around fashion fashion has finally reached eyewear - and it's about time. Each year, thousands of plastic frames are discarded across the UK, many ending up in landfill.
At Retrospecced, we're proving that style and sustainability can go hand in hand. By reviving and re-lensing pre loved designer and vintage frames, we're reducing waste and celebrating style - one pair of glasses at a time.
- Recycled or plant-bade materials that replace virgin plastics.
- Durable, repairable designs that last for years.
- Up-cycling and reusing existing frames instead of discarding them.
- Ethical, local production that minimises transport emissions.
At Retrospecced we combine all of the above. Our upcycled eyewear brings new life to existing frames, keeping style in circulation and waste out of the environment.
🔁 The Beauty of Upcycled Glasses
So, what sets upcycled eyewear apart?
Unlike recycling - where materials are melted down and remade - up-cycling transforms an existing product into something even better.
Each frame from Retrospecced start's life with a high quality frame, vintage or designer. We restore, clean and fit with new lenses if needed, creating something truly unique. It's not mass production, its fashion with purpose.
