Acetate or titanium: which frame is right for you
Acetate is a plant-based plastic that we cut and polish by hand. It holds colour beautifully and has a warmth to it that metal cannot match, which is why most of our frames start there. It is slightly heavier, and it can be adjusted with gentle heat if the fit needs tweaking.
Titanium is the opposite: very light, very strong, and almost invisible on the face. If you wear glasses all day or you have had frames bend on you before, titanium is worth the extra.
