Item
Acetate frame
A milled and polished acetate front with a keyhole bridge. The material is the fitting: acetate can be heated and adjusted to a face, which metal cannot.

RANGE
Three items, and what settles each one.
The range covers acetate frames, metal frames and hard cases. Each page carries the feature that decides whether it works and the questions worth settling before an order.
Item
Metal frame
A thin wire front with adjustable nose pads and a sprung hinge. Metal is stronger per gram and does not take a bend to the face.

Item
Hard case
A clamshell case with a lined interior and a hinge that holds. It is judged by whether the frame survives being carried, not by how it looks on a shelf.
Open the item →How the range is organised.
By how each item is adjusted rather than by what it is made of. A frame is brought to a face, or its pads are; a case is not adjusted at all.
- Acetate frames
- Adjusted by heating the material · the whole frame can be brought to the face
- Metal frames
- Adjusted at the pads and the temples · the front cannot be bent
- Combined frames
- A metal front with acetate temples · adjusted at both
- Cases
- Not adjusted · decided by the lining and the hinge
