Amazing Service

Amazing Service. The team at monc were super helpful, fast tracking my new lens so I received them ahead of a trip. When I collected they made sure that the new lenses felt good. I’ve had the same two pairs of Kallio glasses from them for 4 years - superb quality and timeless design. Couldn’t recommend more

My MONC glasses, ten years and counting!

I bought my original MONC glasses over 10 years ago when MONC had just started trading (I only found out that it was that long ago when I visited the MONC shop in Chiltern Street recently because I had dropped my glasses on a hard stone floor and broke them) I was amazed to meet Freddie MONC's founder again, who actually remembered me from all those years ago! Over the years I have had innumerable compliments on my glasses, the green colour and frame style really seemed to appeal to so many people, and so I was horrified when I broke them, mistakenly thinking MONC might have disappeared years ago. It was great to meet Freddie again and to see that my exact frames and colour were still available. Freddie took my broken glasses and said if I could give him half an hour he would have my new glasses ready. What amazing service and such good luck to find MONC thriving and to be able to have my much loved glasses back again. All the very best to MONC and even greater success in the future. Thank you Freddie

10/10

10/10. I have returned to MONC for my glasses and sunglasses for 10 years. Their products are beautifully made, of timeless style and most importantly their ethics are impeccable. They are genuinely a 'better business'.
