When it came time for Neckglasses founder and interior designer Karen Ganovsky to need reading glasses, she wanted a better way to keep a pair handy. She thought up creating foldable readers with refined finishes that look discrete enough to wear as a low-key accessory.

Karen and partner Dianna Seddon developed these functional readers to be lightweight and easy to access and we think they nailed it—because what is more convenient than having a pair of glasses hanging from your neck? From an armless design that has a jewelry-like finish to pairs with more streamlined and utilitarian looks, Karen’s idea means no more digging around to find your reading glasses or leaving them behind.
