Our Original Penguin glasses have been made with the same attention to detail and flair that saw the clothing brand become an American classic in the 60’s & 70’s, famously worn by Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin & Clint Eastwood. We love the story of the origin of the label. In 1955, a man named Abbot Pederson was in New York on a sales trip for the Munsingwear brand. His return flight delayed, he started drinking and, worse for wear, stumbled across a stuffed penguin in the window of a taxidermy shop. Having bought it, he took it on his flight and, a few more drinks later, accidentally knocked its head off! A friendly flight attendant took Abbot’s tie off and wrapped it around the pengiun's neck, holding its head in place. She joked that the image should be used on shirts and so the ‘pengiun with tie’ logo was born! We have great prices for our Original Penguin glasses, particularly with our free Clean & Clear 1.6 thin & lightweight anti-reflection (AR) lenses and free worldwide postage (Royal Mail ‘Special Delivery’ for the UK). We also have very competitive prices for our other lenses, including just £22 extra for our Clean & Clear 1.67 extra-thin & lightweight anti-reflection (AR) lenses. We’re confident that you’ll be happy with your Original Penguin glasses. But if you’re having doubts about ordering glasses online, please be reassured by our ‘no-quibble’ money-back or exchange guarantee. We also have some fantastic reviews on the independent review site, Trustpilot. Whether the review positive, negative or just ok, the review has to remain. We think this gives customers greater confidence to make their purchasing decision. We look forward to helping you if you decide to order with us. |  |
