Repairing retro sunglasses
Celebrities in the music and movie worlds have played a big role in shaping fashion trends. Audrey Hepburn's cate-etc frames, Bob Dylan's Wayfarers and John Lennon's round sunglasses have helped make retro glasses a blazon of sophisticated style. Household name brands are always ready to relaunch comeback models based on vintage flair, but many prefer the original, authentic eyewear. These are among the most popular retro sunglasses we receive daily for repair.
CAT EYE SUNGLASSES
The sweeping cut of cat-eye glasses has a glamorous, feminine vibe that appeals to every age. The iconic style took off in the 1950s and has repeated its charm to every generation.
AVIATOR GLASSES
Originally designed for use by fight limits in World War III, the large teardrop lens has a cool vibe that never seems to fade.
ROUND LENS EYEWEAR
Popularised by the 1960s counter-culture and a favourite of musicians and artists, round eyewear still makes a bold fashion statement.
WAYFARER GLASSES
With their bold frames, Wayfarers were introduced by Ray-Ban in the 1950s but became highly popular in the 1970s and are now considered the most classic retro style.
Just returned from a visit to AlphaOmega in Crewe with two perfectly done frame repairs on a Rayban Shooter and a vintage Persol. I was quoted one hour and they were done in 20 minutes! I'm a retired optometrist and can thoroughly recommend AlphaOmega for their professionalism, quality of
workmanship and friendliness. I only wish I'd discovered them whilst I was working.
I've just received my 25-year-old vintage Gucci Sunglasses back from Alphaomega after sending them to them on Monday morning (it's Wednesday @ 11 am now).... Outstanding workmanship on the repair, ultra-fast turnaround time and they look "as new" as if I've just bought them from Gucci. You'd seriously never know they'd touched them. Please don't have any doubts about using Alphaomega as they're are a company who you can totally trust with prices that are a fraction of having to purchase new glasses.
My second ever review/feedback! Since I have needed to start wearing glasses recently I have wanted to wear vintage specs like Algha/B&L/Shuron etc. These glasses are made in a way that doesn`t happen any more. They are randomly bought by me and sent straight to AlphaOmega for refurbishment and reglazing. David, the craftsman there, does a marvellous job truly upgrading beautiful but very old (70-100 yrs old) frames, and do you know what? It`s like they were made yesterday! Truly marvellous!! Finally, the cost is so affordable, so if you want unique up to date vintage specs, buy them and send to him at AlphaOmega. It`s a game changer and quite addictive, thank you.
Vintage Oakley square wire. After being about to give up on my very loved 17 year old classes I was given the name of this company. I was a little unsure about the company and the ability to fix my glasses as I'd completely snapped the hinge. They answered and were completely understanding and polite, they requested photo's via email to check the extent of the damage. Within a couple of hours I got the reply that it was no problem and would only cost £30 and a full explanation of how to book the repair. To my amazement they were fixed and posted back the same day they received them. Amazing company, I will definitely use them again if I'm unfortunate enough to need them again 5 🌟
