Acetate Frames

Acetate is a high-quality, plant-based plastic often used by premium and designer brands.

Best For: Fashion-forward wearers and those who want bold, deep colors or patterns (like tortoiseshell).

Pros:

• Aesthetics: Colors are embedded in the material (not sprayed on), so they don't fade or peel.
• Hypoallergenic: Generally safe for sensitive skin
• Adjustability: Opticians can easily heat and bend these frames to custom-fit your head.

Cons: Heavier than TR-90 or Titanium. It can warp if left in high heat (like a car dashboard) and may become brittle over many years.
