Layered Color-Block Acetate Optical Frames | Ready Stock & Low MOQ

This optical frame combines layered cellulose acetate construction with a modern cat-eye inspired shape. The outer corners feature contrasting acetate layers that create a visible color-block effect, while the translucent main frame keeps the overall design balanced.

The combination of layered acetate, a subtle upward brow line and wire-core temples makes this style suitable for optical collections that need more visual detail than a standard solid-color frame. Ready Stock and low MOQ options are available for selected colorways.

Key Features

• Layered Acetate Construction: Contrasting acetate layers are combined around the outer frame and endpiece areas to create a distinctive color-block effect.

• Modified Cat-Eye Shape: A softly lifted brow line adds character while keeping the overall silhouette suitable for everyday optical wear.

• Visible Wire-Core Temples: Selected translucent temple colors reveal the internal metal core for additional structural and visual detail.

• Multi-Barrel Hinges: A practical hinge construction designed for regular opening and closing and normal fitting adjustments.

• RX-Ready Design: Supplied with demo lenses and suitable for prescription lens fitting, subject to the lens and prescription requirements.

Design & Construction

Layered Color-Block Acetate

The main design feature is the use of contrasting acetate layers around the outer corners and endpiece transition.

Rather than applying color only to the surface, the layered construction creates depth within the acetate itself. When viewed from different angles, the contrasting sections remain visible along the frame edge.

This technique allows different color combinations to be developed around the same basic frame shape, making it suitable for seasonal or fashion-oriented optical collections.

Modified Cat-Eye Profile

The front combines a relatively straight lower rim with a subtle upward movement toward the outer brow. This creates a softer cat-eye influence without making the frame overly dramatic.

The 52 mm lens width and 18 mm bridge provide a balanced proportion for a contemporary optical frame, while final fitting should always be assessed according to the wearer's facial dimensions and prescription.

Wire-Core Temple Construction

The temples incorporate an internal metal core within the acetate. In translucent colorways, the core becomes part of the overall design and can also provide flexibility for fitting adjustments.

The combination of acetate and metal gives the temple a different visual and structural character from a conventional all-acetate construction.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How is the color-block effect created?

Yes. The frame is supplied with demo lenses and is designed for prescription lens fitting. Final suitability depends on the prescription, lens type and fitting requirements.

Q3: Can progressive lenses be fitted?

Progressive lenses can be considered when the frame dimensions, fitting height and prescription requirements are appropriate. The final lens choice should be confirmed by the optician.

Q4: Can I customize the color combination?

Yes. Selected acetate colors and layered combinations can be discussed through our Semi Custom service, subject to the existing frame construction.
