Try on a dozen pairs

Come and find us at a charity fair or other event, where we will help you try on a dozen pairs so you can really see which shape suits you. Still the best way to choose!

Curated by Sue

We search the world for quirky, unusual ideas. Every collection is personally chosen by Sue, with the accent on colour, colour and more colour, for both our specs and the accessories.

Our story

Colour, colour and more colour

We select our own range of magnifying reading spectacles - Spectacular Spectacles - and search the world for quirky, fun and practical presents to go with them. We've been sending out our mail order catalogues since 2004.

Fundraising fairs are where it all started, and you'll still find us at Christmas fairs up and down the country, where we donate a percentage of our turnover and table fees to a variety of charities.
