Prue Leith and Ronit Fürst frames arrive at Patrick & Menzies

We are excited to announce we have added two new collections by Prue Leith and Ronit Fürst to our range.

At Patrick & Menzies we pride ourselves on offering a varied selection of spectacle frames. We have options to suit all tastes and styles. And we are sure these two new brands will be popular with our patients.

Specs by Prue 

Dame Prue Leith photographed smiling outside wearing a pair of green, white, black and blue glasses.If you’re a fan of The Great British Bake Off you will no doubt have admired the striking glasses frames worn by presenter, restauranteur and chef Dame Prue Leith. 

Her iconic eyewear is bold, bright and joyful. And now you can emulate the look with MAC Eyewear’s Specs by Prue collection. 

Selected frames from the collection are now available in our Manningtree and Brightlingsea branches. We know they’re going to be popular. They range in colour from the brightest pinks to the deepest greens.

Talking about the collection Prue explained: “I think of specs as an accessory! I don’t feel right without them.” 

She added: “I would rather spend money on glasses (and necklaces) than shoes and handbags that spend most of the time under tables. I need specs to see, but even if I didn’t, I would still wear them.” 

Ronit Fürst frames

Each pair of glasses is painted by hand. Yes you read that correctly! They’re designed to look different from every angle and include a beautiful level of fine detail. 

Supplier MAC Eyewear explained: “Looking closely one can actually see the paintbrush strokes and the texture of the paint, just like a painting on canvas. After the painting is completed the frames undergo a special coating procedure, which will give it it’s finished look – crystal shiny or sandy matt – and which also protects the painting from dirt and other unwanted effects.”

These frames will be the perfect match for anyone looking for something a little quirky and individual that truly captures their personality. In fact they make a perfect second pair! Wear them on days when you want to add extra impact to your look. Again, a selection of frames from the Ronit Fürst range is available now from our Brightlingsea and Manningtree branches.
