A simple marketplace for frames you know.
Binocles connects sellers who have old frames with buyers who want those exact frames — at a fixed $30 price, fully anonymous on both sides.
Find your old frames
Look through your collection for frames you no longer wear — any brand, any style.
Fill in Brand + Reference
Enter the brand name and the exact model reference. Tip: it's engraved inside the temple arm — take a photo with your phone and zoom in if you need to.
