Coming out of the opticians with FOUR pairs of glasses, I could see an immediate problem. Which glasses were which? Were the ones in the blue case for music or reading? Which pair should live in the car? The only ones I could identify with any confidence were the prescription sunglasses.
No problem, I thought – there’s bound to be a case featuring a treble clef (although alto might be a bit optimistic) in the music shop. But there wasn’t. I scoured the internet, Ebay, Amazon etc – didn’t find many specs cases at all, and none which helped in any way to identify what the glasses inside were for.
So we designed our own, and here they are. I knew I wasn’t alone after spotting a friend’s case with “music glasses” sellotaped to the lid – so these designs are for everyone who has ever wondered “which glasses are which”!
Hope you like them and find them useful. They make fab gifts for grandad and granny, teachers, crossword solvers, cinema buffs, sewing & knitting fans and hard-to-buy-for men!
UPDATE - Just a few left now, I'm afraid that several designs are now sold out.
For everyone who loves to knit or sew (and needs to locate their specs!), this pretty case makes a perfect, thoughtful gift.

We were thrilled to be featured as Kate Carter's Buy of the Day in The Guardian.
Here's what she had to say:
"A brilliant idea, beautifully designed. If you have multiple glasses for driving, watching TV and squinting at guardian.co.uk on your smartphone, but are forever getting them confused, here is the answer. Instead of big boring type (or sellotaped notes, as Buy of the Day used to do for her granny) the cases are enlivened with the appropriate image. Crosswords, pens and letters for the reading case, for instance. But even if you just need a new case, these are ace. Buy of the Day particularly likes the music-themed one."
