About Us
About Us
Welcome to Funky readers, where style meets
functionality. We believe reading glasses should be more than just a tool—they
should be a statement.
Our Story
Funky readers were born in 2013 when founders
Judith and Martin Cunningham decided to leave the mundane behind and bring a
fresh perspective to eyewear in the UK. While traveling through
Europe—especially Italy and France—they noticed that European reading glasses
were trendier and more fashion-forward than those back home. The spark came
when Judith discovered a pair of velvet reading glasses in Siena. That moment
inspired Funky readers, which has been redefining eyewear in the UK ever since.
Today, our collection includes designer reading glasses curated from across
Europe, including our popular Doubleice velvet range. We also partner with
izipizi, I Need You, K-eyes, Montana and have our own brand Design.
Our Vision
for 2025
We aim to provide our customers with
fashionable, high-quality reading glasses that make every day a little more
stylish. Our mission is to continue growing while offering exceptional products
and first-class service. After all, glasses aren't truly "funky" without
the people who wear them!
