Karoo Reader
R390.00
Ready-made reading glasses in a slim acetate frame.
MADE AT THE BENCH
Each front is cut from a solid acetate sheet, filed by hand and polished for three days before the hinges go in. The result is real depth of colour and edges that feel soft, never sharp.
Titanium temples are shaped on a jig and can be bent to suit your head at any time. Bring the glasses back whenever they feel loose.
FRAME DETAIL
Hand cut acetate front with riveted hinges and a shallow bridge that suits most faces. Temples run slightly long to keep the frame steady. Fitted with demo lenses, ready for your script.

Good glasses should disappear on your face. Ours are made by hand until they do.

WHAT YOU GET
- Hand finished acetate or titanium frame, ready for your prescription.
- Hard shell case and microfibre cloth in the box.

Lenses are cut in our own lab, so single vision, varifocal or blue light filters fit the same frame. Send us a photo of your script and we will quote before cutting.
