Second hand designer glasses and why you should shop them

Our preloved designer glasses collection is a curated collection of second hand designer glasses handpicked by us for their quality and design. A mix of modern unworn deadstock and lightly worn beautifully refurbished preloved glasses frames.

To compliment our range of true vintage glasses and sunglasses we felt it was only natural to offer a more modern preloved option.

why buy second hand designer glasses?

Second hand doesn’t mean second best, in fact the opposite can be true with eyewear. All the pieces in our preloved collection are chosen for their quality and style.

A major bonus of shopping preloved is affordability. Designer glasses frames can be more budget and pocket friendly when you buy them second hand, but you’re still obtaining the same innovative design, high quality materials and skilled production.

If your favourite frame broke or it’s been discontinued, you might just find it in our Preloved Collection. If you’re coveting something you can’t see in store, get in touch and we’ll do our best to source it or something similar for you from our extensive range of styles not yet in the store.

There’s also our waitlist feature on the site - if a frame is marked out of stock there’s a chance it’s on a Home Try On, so add your name to the waitlist feature in the product description and you’ll be notified if it comes back in stock.

shopping second hand designer glasses

Shopping second hand is a truly sustainble way to shop, no new resources or materials are used, so energy, materials and water are saved and no nasty chemicals are involved. We’re reusing what’s already out there in the world without drawing on the planets resources to create more stuff.

Saving frames from landfill or a lifetime in a darkened drawer, when they have so much life left in them, is what we do. When you choose second hand over new you’re shopping sustainably, free from the burden of adding to our ever growing landfill problem.

There’s so many great quality secondhand frames already in existence there’s really no need to buy new - as fashion is cyclical you’re sure to find what you’re looking for.

repair and rewear designer frames

Our secondhand preloved glasses frames are either unworn deadstock frames or lightly worn, with lots of life left in them.

But we don’t stop there, each piece is refurbished; ultra sonically cleaned, oiled and polished, with any fittings replaced with new where needed. We love bringing things back to life and these frames have all restored so beautifully, many come up like new.

The beauty of buying quality designer frames is that they should stand the test of time and they can be repaired and restored unlike their cheaper counterparts.

Add in your prescription with our glazing service and you’re good to go and if, over time, you damage your frame or lenses, you can return to us for a litte tlc with our restoration services, a closed loop circular system.

Millions of glasses are ending up in landfill when they could be reworn which is why we launched our Designer Glasses Preloved Collection making sure what you buy is as sustainable as it can be.

Join the rewear revolution.
