Coronation street’s spectacle style icon Deirdre Barlow and her glasses collection is a bit legendary. Oversized glasses and eighties style pattern and crystal frames are having a moment and we’re not sorry.

Actress Anne Kirkbride, best known for playing the role of Deirdre Barlow in the cobbles from 1972 to 2014, is sadly no longer with us, but her iconic oversize glasses style lives on.

Her love triangle, Deirdre’s tonal 70s glasses and vintage jumper combo really working for her here, pictured with Ken and Mike.

These oversize 1980s Deirdre Barlow glasses frames, with colour pops of piped enamel on a clear crystal base are giving us good vibes.

Even behind bars Deirdre gave good glasses. Delivered in the form of eighties and early nineties oversize owl glasses in fun two tone pearlescent prints.

Dior’s more recent campaign with their inadvertent homage to Deirdre or ‘Diordre’.

Deirdre Barlow we thank you for all your good glasses work over the decades - your legacy lives on.

Take a peep at our vintage Deirdre glasses frames and get your Deirdre on..
