◆ Block acetate — seven days in the tumblerA frame
A frame
you keep
wearing
Almost every frame at this price is moulded in an afternoon and glued shut, which is a polite way of saying it is finished the first time a hinge goes. Ours are cut from solid acetate and riveted, so an optician can still tighten them in ten years.

Tumbled
for a week.
Block acetate goes into the drum square and comes out with the shine already in the material, so there is no lacquer at the temples to wear white where your fingers go. The hinges are riveted through the front rather than glued into a pocket — the reason we can sell you the screws to fix them.
