Perfect condition as if sent from the brand website itself but at half the cost! Will be checking in again in the future!

Fantastic
Fantastic! Ellie was really helpful when I asked for a trial of some frames. It was such a difficult choice because they were all so nice! Much cheaper than most places and the whole process was really simple and pleasant. I get so many compliments on my glasses. Would highly recommend!

They were incredibly well priced (half the price for the same raybans I’ve recently bought elsewhere (these were replacements as I dropped and broke the others) they are a beautiful product, came with a very nice case and were quickly dispatched and received- thank you!

Easy to follow
Easy to follow, useful process tracking and verification with an optician. Arrived on time. More range and options for being able to view what they might look like on would be even better.

A very positive experience with tortoise and black.
Although I did not buy any sunglasses from tortoise and black in the end, I cannot fault my experience with them.
I had ordered the sun glasses online but they were not available so one of the team phoned me and emailed me about my options. She was genuinely pleasant and very helpful.
I will definitely buy my next pair of sunglasses from them.
