Who said reading glasses must be a boring necessity? GLAS is a Scandinavian eyewear brand offering a curated selection of fashionable and unique reading glasses, sunglasses and eyewear accessories.
Founder Christoffer Sundberg started the brand when he realized his mother couldn’t find stylish frames that made her feel confident and matched her style.
He has since fully embraced the aim to make reading glasses into a fashion statement, and thereby turn an everyday essential item into something beautiful.
“Reading glasses are essential for many people, but the category has been neglected and forgotten about in the fashion industry. Our response was: why don’t we make reading glasses that are actually beautiful?” - Christoffer Sundberg, founder and CEO.
GLAS offers a frame for everyone, and their range of reading glasses and sunglasses encompasses a variety of tones, designs and materials; fitting you, your personal style and face shape, whilst helping you to feel great about yourself.
• If you have a rounder face shape, choosing frames that have angular lines and rectangle or geometric shapes will flatter your features.
• If you have an oval face shape, oversized frames work extra well with your features. Why not stand out by playing with different frame thicknesses and textures?
• If you have square features, round and oval frames add balance and structure to your face. Soften your angular features by choosing a thinner frame.
• If you’ve got a heart-shaped face, play off your delicate proportions with frames that are widest at the bottom. Aviators and frames with a slight cat eye lift work well with your features.
Not all glasses on the market sufficiently protect your eyes. However, GLAS reading glasses can easily be upgraded to include blue light protection, giving you effective protection from blue light emitted from digital devices.
In addition, GLAS sunglasses offer the option to add your desired reading strength, as well as UV400 highest-grade protection from 100% of UVA and UVB rays as standard. All whilst letting you enjoy your book, kindle or magazine in the strong summer sun!
GLAS has an iconic design DNA combining Scandinavian simplicity with a bold, high-fashion approach.
Their collections embrace simple, yet beautiful frames that never go out of style.
