Vintage? Original? Designer? How about all three. We have managed to source an amazing collection of original 1980s vintage frames from Christian Dior and Silhouette.


Last year we got word that a collection of vintage frames had been discovered, so we had to hunt them down. An opticians in London went out of business in the early 90s with all of its frames still in storage, ever since then they had been stored in their original packaging, then forgotten about until they were unearthed last year. We managed to view the collection, loved it and so are bringing it to the market for the stylish people of Liverpool.


These were some of the most popular and iconic frames of the era, that Ian Silverberg remembers well; “The over sized Silhouette’s with the low arm were some of my favourites to sell back then, at the time we had a few different shops across the city and these used to sell everywhere. They were, and still are, amazing.”


Most people have heard of Christian Dior, but many may not of heard of Silhouette who only manufacture spectacle frames, Ian adds “The quality of all of them speaks for themselves, thirty-odd years later they still look as they did when they came from the factory, we’ve put them all through quality checking and we are just blown away, it’s one of the most exciting collections we’ve ever had, they’re just so rare.”


There are ladies and gents frames in both collection with some amazing gents frames that Ian remembers fondly; “there’s a collection that have little hands holding on to the front frame rims like handlebars. Many people call the temples on spectacles arm’s, so it was a little tongue in cheek nod to that. I used to wear some of these in the late 80’s, so when I saw them I had to have them again.”


This amazing collection is now in store at Silverberg Opticians and really has to be tried on. If you’d like to see more of this collection and what else we offer, make sure you follow our social channels.

I found the comparison between Sermorelin and BPC-157 very educational. The article explains their mechanisms and benefits without falling into hype or jargon. What stood out to me was the emphasis on how each peptide may fit into different health or training contexts. It made me think about optimization more holistically rather than chasing single solutions. A useful guide for people researching peptide options.

Hi everyone, I stumbled upon this casino after a friend jokingly mentioned it during a Zoom call. I’m based in the UK and normally avoid online gambling because I’ve had streaks of bad luck. Curiosity got the better of me one evening, so I gave it a shot. What I really liked was the smooth layout and how easy it was to jump into a game without reading a hundred guides. After a few rounds, I even bookmarked casinohermes.org.uk to come back later. I had a few losses, then a lucky spin helped me recover everything and leave the session satisfied.

Hello. I appreciate that wagerland.org.uk is not overloaded with banners and pop-ups. Everything is quite concise. You can play on the go or at home, it makes no difference. For players from the United Kingdom, it leaves a favourable impression.

I came across this casino after a long chat in a UK gaming Discord where people were sharing where they unwind after work. I wasn’t hunting for wins, just something to pass time without pressure. What pulled me in was how straightforward everything felt, especially deposits and game navigation. Halfway through my session I saved https://beonbet-uk.com/ because I liked the rhythm of play. I had a shaky start, lost a few rounds, then slowly recovered with slots that didn’t feel overly aggressive. By the end of the night I was slightly up, relaxed, and honestly surprised I didn’t feel annoyed for once.

Hi folks. I’m based in the UK and usually read forums during my commute. A few weeks ago, a banner popped up while I was checking football stats, and curiosity got the better of me. I later spent some time browsing games and options, and halfway through my evening I ended up on Libra Spins without much expectation. What caught my attention was how calm and uncluttered everything felt. I tried a couple of games just to pass time and didn’t feel rushed or confused. After a few sessions, I realised I was genuinely comfortable using it, which isn’t common for me.
