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?
