“Peep Eyewear is an independent vintage eyewear business where glasses are sourced and restored and arrive at your house in adorable cases handmade from deadstock '70s fabric. Oh, and every pair sold plants a tree! Frames are vintage so once a pair is gone, it’s gone. But this does give you the added bonus of knowing that whichever frames you choose will be unique to you! Plus, it’s a highly sustainable way of finding a new pair of specs.”

Peep offers home try ons of up to three frames at a time. Once you’re ready to purchase, ask for a blue light filtering lens to be added to your frames and see how much better your eyes will feel.”
