A crazy inventor has shown how he can turn just about anything into a pair of sustainable and chic sunglasses. From biscuits to McMuffin wrappers, there's not much Jack Spencer wouldn't try and use.
The wacky inventor from Cornwall started making the sunnies and prototypes from his kitchen table, and after amassing thousands of fans, he set up shop in 2017 and has been expanding his small business Mosevic ever since. The 36-year-old inventor has become extremely popular as she shares how he makes sustainable eyewear - as well as turning an occasional biscuit into a pair of decent shades.
Studying Product Design at university, Jack turned his hobby into a unique business, and claims eyewear has always been a "weird interest" he's had. He started making his own by using hardened denim (denim fabric infused with resin) and to keep people interested in his brand he shares behind the scenes of the design process, and has now started using biscuits and food from McDonald's for his chic shades.
Jack explained: "I found that sharing the process of how I make these frames online was something that people had responded to really well, so I've just done it more and more. There is only so much I can show my viewers about the actual process of making the glasses so I’ve had to come up with other unique ideas - using biscuits and food from McDonald’s to make sunglasses for example.
As he has captured the attention of millions of TikTok users, Jack has had to expand his creative team and hopes to make up to 35 sustainable frames a week, but warns if you want to get your hands on a pair there's an 8-10 week waiting list. "I've recently recruited some team members to help with the business, so there's now four of us. I'm not sure what is in store for Mosevic in the future, right now we only sell online but in a year or so, it would be nice to see my frames in store."
