Recommended fashion glasses shop?


Recommended Posts

Hi there


I'm looking to buy some new glasses frames and would like to buy non branded or original looking specs. There are some good shops such as opera opera in covent garden but charge around ?300-400 for just the frames. They look fab but wondered if anyone could recommend a cheaper alternative either near east dulwich or elsewhere in London?


Many thanks in advance!

Hi,


For a few years now I've bought mine online. For designer frames it is usually under ?100 including prescription& thinner lenses.


Just go to D&A or Vision Express, get your test done and and ask for a copy of your prescription. Choose your frames and note down the number. Then go to an online retailer and put in the code, voila! Save ?300!!


I've used these guys before http://www.selectspecs.com/ - I'll warn you, customer service is non-existent and you can wait two to three weeks but they do turn up. (I've also had lenses from them tested and they were apparently of excellent quality)


Hope this helps!

Be very careful if you have varifocals though.


I used to get my specs online, but it's obviously very hard to get the lenses right if they are going by photos etc.


And they didn't .... twice.

    • So of you're in a coffee shop and the barista is rude to you you wouldn't complain as long as you had received your coffee? 
    • OP, you've got to relax a bit. Multidrop delivery is a total nightmare and the delivery drivers are woefully underpaid. We as a society all want to order stuff online and for it to be delivered quickly and cheaply. The square gets circled by allowing companies like Evri to have sham contracting arrangements. None of this is your fault OP but the delivery person is just trying to get through their workload as quickly as possible. Delivery is not, historically, an industry with large profit margins. “The only way it can be profitable is if you underpay the person who is the courier, by not treating them as an employee, by not paying taxes, by not paying their insurance, by refusing to give them sick pay or cover them if they have an accident or train them,” says Prof Annabelle Gawer, the director of the Centre of Digital Economy at the University of Surrey. “That is where the ‘savings’ are coming from.” https://www.theguardian.com/society/2022/mar/01/the-hidden-life-of-a-courier-13-hour-days-rude-customers-and-big-dreams
    • Can bet the Co Op is nearing its exit soon. At those prices you might as well buy at waitrose!
