We must admit lockdown can have its perks, such as binge watching BBC's latest drama The Serpent, with zero guilt and gleefully hitting the 'yes' button when asked "Are you still watching?" To be honest, we think that's a silly question but it's good to know BBC iPlayer have our back!
The Serpent dramatically, and often graphically, re-tells the true story of a hidden darkness on Asia's hippie trail in the 1970's. The twisted reality of a murderer, thief and seductive master of disguise. Starring Tahar Rahim and Jenna Coleman, the Serpent is a stylish, sexy and occasionally harrowing tour de force that will leave you wanting more, and Googling '70's eyewear' five minutes into episode one...

An elusive Gucci semi-rimless has made its way out of the archive. With a complete horseshoe shape connecting the two halves, elements of the Gucci heritage permeate throughout the entire frame.
With soft colourings and a gradient lens, these frames are ideal for a night of dancing and grooving to the rhythm of your own.

An oversized frame with hues of milk and honey coloured acetate. With a soft gradient lens cascading over the front, these frames inspire thoughts of the 70s and the bright optimism the fashion presented.

A glorious blue enshrouds this Francois Illevon frame. With curved faceting and an overall striking shape, these frames are ideal for those dreaming of sunshine and cool breezes in an Italian summer.
Kaleos - Spain
The Kaleos Slade in a custom pink tint. An exemplary show of 70s style still being as fabulous today. With this 70s inspired frame, the punchy pink hue truly stands out and makes this an extra special piece. You'll never find another like it.
