Granny's Favorite is the New Hit
Glasses are regaining popularity here in Japan with numerous chain stores offering eyewear for not only quick and cheap but in infinite designs. Glasses are no longer just a functional item but an accessory to complete someone’s wardrobe. Along with this trend, glasses cords are finding a new following to further personalize these new accessories. This may come as a surprise to many, since more are likely to consider glass cords as something favored only for functional purposes by the elderly. Defying preconceptions, there are more women in their thirties and forties that purchase these cords as if they are shopping for necklaces or other jewelry. Although a trend that is more visible among women, glass cords with simple designs are also surprisingly popular among men.
