What if I told you that, in all of these pictures, I’m wearing the same pair of glasses?
That’s right, they’re all the same glasses! They’re the “Ella” from Pair Eyewear. The plain black base frames (available in other colors like clear) have magnets on them. This allows you to switch out an infinite number of toppers to match your hearts desires!
They release new collections of limited edition toppers a few times a month (on Wednesdays, I believe). So there will always be new ones for your fancy. And there’s already a huge community of custom makers who sell custom tops. My white fuck tops and the black bat wings are both custom orders. As far as limited editions, I already missed out on the bokah dots by mere hours! It was heart breaking. They were in my cart and then when I got my prescription uploaded and went to checkout, they had already sold out. Sad times. Sad times.
If you look around, there is generally a 10% off coupon for new customers — or you can use my referral link to save money and give me points toward purchases too! Here’s my link. Right now, in April — it’s worth $25. After April, I believe it will go down to $20.
The base frames start at $60 with simple prescription lenses. Each topper is $25 for regular, or $30 for sun toppers. I added on light responsiveness (knock-off Transitions), blue light filtering, and a bunch of toppers. I even got a sun topper. Why would I get a sun topper when I have the light responsiveness? To use in the car, baby! Hell yeah! Transitions don’t work in the car (they’re triggered by UV rays) — so now I can store my sun toppers in my console and drive in sunglasses! I got to try it for the first time today and I felt so cool.
I tell you what, these have exceeded my expectations. The quality of the frames is perfectly on par with frames you pay 5 times as much for. In fact, I’m suggesting Mr C get his next pair through them. Even if he doesn’t use the toppers, the price is excellent. They have a good return policy (I already returned one topper that made me look like I had a unibrow). I added on an optional warranty too. And the magnets are stronger than I expected. They work great! I’m in love.
I’m pretty sure K is already sold on buying the “Wandas” for a pair of cheaper glasses she can wear on trips where she doesn’t have to be heart broken over losing a pair of glasses that cost $800 in a lake.
Some things:
- You can simply upload a picture of your prescription to the site.
- There are lots of shape options. I have the “Ella.” If you look around, smart entrepreneurial types have already started selling card stock cutouts of the different frames for you to try on. I paid $5 for a full set to “try them on” before I committed.
- If you know you pupil distance, awesome! Give it to them. If you do not, they have an app where you hold any card with a magnetic strip (AKA size of a credit card) up to your forehead and let it take a picture. This is what I did and mine came out perfect.
- Seriously, use my referral link. You save $20 and I get a $20 credit to spend on toppers!
- They have kids sizes as well as adult! Affordable for your kids to run around the playground in while rocking dinosaur toppers!
