    Rita Paul

    Founder-A Fine Spectacle

    “Over the years, I noticed a growing trend: people buying spectacles online for lower prices, more choice, and to avoid pushy sales assistants.
    But time and time again, I heard the same frustrations — glasses that didn’t fit properly, blurred lenses from self-measurements, cheap plastic frames that filled up landfill and never lasted long and zero aftercare when things went wrong.
    That didn’t sit right with me. Eyewear is so much more than a functional product — it’s part of your identity, your comfort, your confidence. So I set out to create something better.
    That’s how A Fine Spectacle was born. 

    Today, I’m proud to offer:

    🌿 Award-winning, sustainable frames – unique designs that make a statement while caring for the planet.

    🌎Hand painted, Hand crafted frames, sourced from around the globe.

    🦘Vibrant , durable, colourful frames from Australia that can not be found in chain opticians.

    🤓Vintage retro look frames, unused and saved from land fill

    👓Premium lenses – precision-crafted for crystal-clear vision. single vision, bifocals and varifocals with coatings.

    ⚡Fast turnaround – so you don’t have to wait weeks to enjoy your new look

    💬Personal consultations from my home in LS17 – because every face deserves the perfect fit. Very neurodivergent friendly, relaxed , gentle safe space.

    🤝 Genuine aftercare – turning customers into long-term clients.

    For me, it’s simple: eyewear should never be a compromise. Every pair of spectacles I provide is carefully curated offering style, sustainability, quality, and care — no shortcuts!”
