I happened upon Peepers in a Google search for light weight, vegan glasses cords and I can't tell you how thrilled I am to have found these! I bought a few other glasses cords (one beaded and a couple of chain styles) from Etsy that I never really liked much because they were too heavy. (This is a really weird thing about me: I can't wear anything too heavy around my neck because it makes me feel too warm. So, no necklaces and definitely no turtlenecks. HA!) These glasses cords are a convenient length; they're made of a leather feel type of material that is sturdy and strong but extremely light weight. I can't even feel it on the back of my neck. And - BONUS - I got clear plastic glasses that are all the rage but I couldn't find them when I took them off and put them down someplace random (i.e., on the coffee table when I took them off to read something up close). With the cord, I don't have to leave them random places anymore but on the rare occasion when I do, I can find them more easily because of the colored cord. I got the brown cord and now I'm back for the black, navy and red. Can't recommend these enough!
