A frame made for a room with one lamp in it
One frame, one lens, one box. What went into the object you actually put on your face after dark.
Clear acetate, on purpose
The frame is clear so the lens is the only thing with colour in it. Nothing announces itself across a table, and the amber reads as intentional rather than novelty.
Acetate is polished rather than moulded, which is why the edges catch light instead of looking flat.
Soft-square front, keyhole bridge
A soft-square front suits more faces than a hard rectangle or a full round. The keyhole bridge sits on the nose rather than pinching it, which matters over a long evening.
Straight temples, light in the hand. You should forget you have them on within a few minutes.
One size, honestly stated
There is one size, made to suit most adult faces. Exact millimetres are being confirmed against the production sample, and we would rather publish nothing than publish a number that is slightly wrong.
If fit is your deciding factor, email hello@wearaften.com before ordering and we will send the figures as soon as they are measured.
The box is the case
A rigid slide box, 170 × 110 × 42 mm, that the glasses live in afterwards rather than a pouch that gets lost in a drawer. No tissue, no sleeve, no second packaging to throw away.
It is the reason a second pair survives being carried around.
What you are buying
One pair, $79. Two, $129 — one for the desk, one for the room you actually end the night in. Ships from the US in 4–7 business days, returns open for 30 days.
No range, no seasonal colours, no second model. This is the object.
The lens is the only colour in the frame. That is the whole design.
What this means for you
- Clear polished acetate so the lens is the only colour.
- One size, with measurements published only once verified.
- Rigid box that doubles as the case. $79, or two for $129.
