Our Story - Passion for Authentic Vintage Eyewear
Where Vintage Style Meets Optical Expertise
At Retro Spectacle we're passionate about two things - eye care and vintage eyewear. Since 2016, we've been on a mission to show that original vintage glasses and sunglasses aren't just timelessly stylish, but also sustainable, handcrafted and built to last.
By choosing vintage eyewear, you're making a conscious decision to embrace sustainability. Each pair of vintage frames represents a piece of fashion history, brought back to life by our expert team. Choosing vintage eyewear helps reduce waste, celebrates craftsmanship and allows you to express your individuality through unique, one-of-a-kind design.
Our Curated Vintage Frame Collection
Our expert team carefully sources authentic vintage glasses and sunglasses from across the decades - from elegant 1940s classics and 1950s cat-eye silhouettes, to bold 1970s statement pieces, and iconic 1990s designer frames.
We specialise in well-known fashion houses such as Dior, Carrera, Persol and Yves Saint Laurent, as well as collectable NHS frames and rare independent designs. Each pair is hand-inspected, professionally restored, and prepared for modern wear - ensuring every piece combines history, quality and optical precision.
Frames with a Story
We take pride in stocking eyewear that tells a story. When we know the origin of a frame, we share it in the product description - because for us, it's not just eyewear, it's history you can wear.
As qualified opticians, we specialise exclusively in authentic vintage eyewear, so you can shop with confidence knowing every frame is genuine, original and chosen for its design significance.
Making a Statement with Unique Styles
Eyewear should be more than functional; - it should be an expression of personality. That's why we curate such a diverse collection of vintage frames and lens combinations, empowering you to create a look that's truly your own. Whether you prefer bold statement pieces or understated classics, our range lets you showcase your individuality with confidence and creativity.
Opticians Dedicated to Your Vision
