Reading glasses men and women.

Long sightedness comes to us all at some times in our lives.

Reading glasses  men and women have been around a long time.

It might surprise you to learn that they have a fascinating history going back over 2000 years.

The first reading glasses owe much to the clergy in the middle ages. They spent their days in monasteries writing manuscripts and as now in those days eyesight would deteriorate around the age of 45.

Spectacles were an Italian invention ( wouldn’t you know! ) by a monk called Salvino degli Armati- no not Armani!.

These were rivet spectacles which must have been so uncomfortable unlike the modern reading glasses for men and women that our German designer I Need You have brought us today.

Another interesting fact is that Eskimo`s produced the first sunglasses.

In prehistoric times it is said that an Eskimo blinded by the glare of the sun on the snow carved an aperture in a piece of bone and strapped it over his eyes. A eureka moment if ever there was one and sunglasses were invented.

They are a long way from the modern sunglasses and sun reading glasses offered by us in our IZIPIZI range of men’s and women’s reading glasses.

The modern age has seen the birth of branded eyewear. We have a number of Brands that we sell. Here are some of them.:

  1. Izipizi from Paris
  2. Doubleice from Italy
  3. I Wear Funky from England
  4. I Need You from Germany

European reading glasses always seem to have the edge and that is why we decided to seek them out on our travels and bring them back to the UK.

Browse our European branded eyewear and we are sure you will find something to suit you.

So if you are looking for reading glasses men women look no further.

How Eye Eye Design started and became an izipizi uk stockist

In 2013 whilst on holiday in Siena browsing the many fabulous shops and boutiques in this medieval city Judith spotted a pair of velvet reading glasses.


Lunch on the square

Over a lovely lunch we decided that we would set up a reading glasses company in the UK . Our first step was to track down the supplier of the reading glasses.

Velvet

Tracking down the supplier

On the frame of the velvet reading glasses was the brand name. We traced the supplier to Milan and made an appointment to go and see them.

At the meeting we bought our first batch of reading glasses.

Seeking new brands we travelled to visit the European trade shows and now we are an official IZIPIZI UK stockist.


Macef 2013

Macef 2013 was a gift trade fair in Milan. We had gone to the show looking for inspiration and had trawled the show all day and found nothing.

Having gone back into the centre of Milan we spotted a brand called Baci in a shop in The Galleria. That brand had been at Macef .

On our return to Macef we spotted a small stand with a display of colourful reading glasses called See Concept.


See Concept LetMeSee 

The brand IZIPIZI originated as See Concept. It had 3 shapes and 6 colours.

  • # A a small round shape
  • # B a rectangular shape
  • # C a square round shape

After a discussion with the representative  we purchased our first order.

Customers can now buy this product on our website. Our next step was to sell at shows throughout the UK

We like to think that we were an important part of the growth of the brand in the UK. In 2015 we set up a separate website eyeeyedesign.com to stock the full range.
