Caseworks Spectacles Cases

Some things seem dull in theory but are thrilling in practice. (Caravanning, for one. Or basket weaving, for another).

And then there’s the humble spectacles case. You probably wouldn’t jump at the chance to read about such an item, but when it comes to Caseworks’s stylish eyeglasses receptacle, we can assure you it’s deeply interesting.

This is a revolutionary Toblerone-esque prism design that stores as a flat pack when you’re not using it. Available in three sizes for regular glasses and sunglasses, you don’t have to be speccie-four-eyes to enjoy it (it’s also handy for keeping pens/pencils in jacket pockets and handbags). It’s hard to lose this case or its contents; available in a range of sexy prints (Hawaiian, polka dot, pinstripes, floral), each is made with a powerful magnetic lining to ensure it stays firmly shut.

How gripping.

Available at The Ian Logan Design Shop, 42 Charterhouse Square, EC1 (020 7600 9888); online at fabstuff.net. To see styles, go to caseworks.cc.
