It’s a lightweight, hypoallergenic, strong, material of wood pulp and cotton. It is perfectly suited for spectacle making in a number of ways.

It's colourful

Our core collection spans x standard acetate colours, including monocolours, 'havanas' (also known as mottles or tortoiseshells), and streaked patterns.

It's resilient

The beauty of acetate is that it can be repaired. Our spectacle repairs team are experts in returning acetate to its former glory, regardless of its age or the battering it has taken.

It’s customisable

Our acetate frames can be finished in either our gloss or with a custom matte finish. We can add additional nosepads for those with a lower crest. We can file or adjust the material for a tailored fit.

Our acetate frames are also available in Bespoke.
