The Ransome Story
Once upon a time
Hello!
I’m Jack Ransome Lupton.
Some of us are blessed with perfect vision, some of us aren’t so lucky. I’ve worn spectacles since I was six and have allegedly had four eyes ever since. It’s been an absolute pleasure.
My first pair were sicky-green circles. They weren’t attractive, but I was totally sold by the Flintstones case. The next pair wasn’t much better - this time I went rectangular and black - thought I was the bees knees. I lost those at the bottom of a river. It was a tough day.
Fast-forward a few years and I’m a qualified Optometrist - marrying my love for eyewear with an in-depth understanding of how the eyes function. They’re pretty clever little things and they deserve the utmost respect. As do spectacles. I mean, they’re called a spectacle for a reason. They’re so important. They sit atop your nostrils attracting attention all day long. They’re the last thing you take off and the first thing you put on. They amplify your personality. They transform your mood. They protect you from the sun and they help you tie your shoes.
They let you see, for goodness sake!
I take great pleasure in crafting these unique pieces, so I hope you enjoy the process of designing some with me and wearing them with as much pride as I do mine.
With love,
Jack.
