If you like nice shoes, good books, a fantastic lunch with friends, why wear cheap readers? This what Lucie thought and she asked her husband Frank to design some really nice ready readers for her.

​

It all started with a collection of Essentials. Really great ready readers of beautiful material, with perfect reading lenses and a bluelight filter. Each season Frank puts new models and colors to the collection. Not too fashionable, but easy following trends. They must always remain typical Frank and Lucie, with that ‘je-ne-sais-qoi’ vintage look and feel. A touch of Character.

​

Frank used to design frames, but resigned. Then when Lucie asked him to develop some real nice ready readers for her and her friends, he started to draw again. He heard Lucie say ‘There are so many ugly readers, come on, you know how to do it’! Frank always listens to his wife and when creating, he made some really interesting pairs for himself too. A little vintage, with a modern flavour.

 

Frank loves beautiful materials, so he made a choice for acetate fabric, an originally natural tissue made of cotton. Acetate fits well, is strong and the delicacy of the material and the patterns are incredible. Of course its a reading tool, so the lenses needed to be perfect, even a ready made product deserves the best intentions. The bluelight filter is one of the best in the industry. So good old acetate goes very well with the lenstechnology of today. Very Essential.

​

The look and feel is vintage in a modern way. A little architectural sometimes. There are more than 12 models in many laid-back luxurious colors. Like alltime favorites as havanna, black and greyvanna. But also very lighthearted ones as Ballet, Soybean and Hazy Harbor.

All ready readers have bluelight filter lenses. They keep your eyes fresh and your head cool. Since we were more at home lately, working and playing, we stare at our screens for hours. The blue light that comes from screens, make our eyes red and tired, gives us headaches and even make we can not sleep well. With a Frank and Lucie you look stylish, but they are also good for your eyes.
