What is Lensrappa and what makes it so good?
If you wear glasses, you may have been recommended Lensrappa by your local glasses shop. This innovative accessory is perfect for those who need a stylish yet low profile solution to keeping their glasses safe. Here, we explain what it is and why it’s such a good investment.
The Lensrappa story
Lensrappa was designed to solve a very specific problem: how to store your glasses securely when a case is too bulky. Many of us are guilty of popping our eye frames into a pocket or pushing them up onto our head - or even throwing them into a handbag - when we don’t need them. This is particularly true of those of us who use glasses for specific activities such as reading or driving. The problem is that being careless with our glasses causes the lenses to get scratched, meaning we’re continually investing in new ones.
Lensrappa was founded in London and now operates in both the UK and US. The product offers a low-profile way to protect both sides of the lenses without the need for a case. You simply wrap it over the lenses and fold the arms of your glasses across the outside. The whole thing can then be slipped into a pocket or bag with ease.
Will Lensrappa work for me?
Lensrappa is perfect for a range of frame sizes and styles. Before you purchase, however, do check that your glasses will fit. The distance between the inside of the arms of your glasses from hinge to hinge should be no less than 123mm (4.9 inches). When closed around your glasses, Lensrappa will measure 123mm x 65mm (4.9 inches x 2.6 inches). The product is not recommended for heavily curved or oversize frames.
There are nine vibrant colours to choose from, ranging from Mandarin orange and Raspberry Pink to Ocean Blue and Racing Green.
