Our beginnings
Monocle was started in 2019 by two friends with a passion for good design.
​
Glasses are a staple of our local landscape - four-fifths of young adults here are myopic. Both of us wear glasses, as do our entire families.
​
For something as common and essential as our daily doses of Teh Tarik and Singlish quips, we wanted to bring glasses with good design and fair pricing to Singaporeans.
​
And for something that so strongly defines how we look, why can’t glasses be as interchangeable as the outfits we buy and the shoes we wear?
