How to choose a shape

The Kat and Feline are cat-eyes and lift the face. The Flat Top and Squared frames are larger and suit stronger features. The Modern Oval and Slim Aviator are the softest shapes. If you wear a frame most days, a tortoise colourway hides wear best.

Care

Clean the lenses only with the cloth in the case, never with detergent. Put them on with two hands to keep the frame aligned, and store them in their case.
