I got to buy a retro pair of sunglasses…

I got to buy a retro pair of sunglasses from Lulu Guinness that were in good condition and that I absolutely love. The turn around time was good and the customer service team are very responsive. Would definitely buy from them again 😁

Outstanding!

Outstanding service from start to finish and excellent quality. I was able to order several pairs of frames to try at home, then return them and receive my chosen pair, fitted with my prescription. This was done very quickly, too.
We will definitely be using Retrospecced again and have already recommended them to friends and family.

Thank you Hannah - and for recommending us too!

Excellent service

Helpful and quick reply to my email re replacing a lens in my sunglasses. Kept me up to date on progress and the glasses were returned in a smart designer case. I could have purchased a new pair more cheaply but these had nostalgic value. In any case, this is a long overdue service which also makes a contribution to charity as well as cutting down on unnecessary waste.

Would thoroughly recommend.

I honestly can't praise Retrospecced…

I honestly can't praise Retrospecced enough for their service and quality of product. I needed my specs in a rush...they went above and beyond...I messed up on the prescription I gave...they sorted the new lenses at a reduced cost. They certainly didn't have to and I very much appreciated it. I will definitely be a retuning customer.

Retrospecced are fabulous

Retrospecced are fabulous!
I have purchased Beautiful original design vintage frames ( at least 7 pairs) over the last 4 years. I have clear prescription and sunglasses / lenses. Swift delivery snd the team have been very accommodating over the years.

The fact they are beautiful unique vintage 40s/ 50s ( in my case) at a very reasonable price is my biggest reason for continuing to buy but the fact that this company has such ethical priorities supporting people in Africa is also the reason I go back and scroll through the glasses and buy!

I can not recommend them enough!
