Lookbook
Tiles marked AI are machine-generated, to show frame shapes and styling. The real frames, colours, measurements and prices are in the collection, or come and try them at 147A Le Duan.
The six images below show six frame shapes people ask about most at the counter: a slim acetate cat-eye, a slim handmade acetate oval, a small acetate oval, a slim-rimmed round metal, a gold oval metal and an acetate cat-eye. They are here so you can judge frame proportions on a face before you visit. Frames in these shapes are in the shop to try on; each model's measurements are in the collection.

The six shapes in this lookbook
Slim cat-eye, warm white acetate. A long, slim rim with a slight lift at the outer corner. The warm white reads creamy rather than stark, and the tea-brown lens is easy on the eyes in strong sun. The shape widens a face horizontally, so it suits round and square faces.
Slim oval, black handmade acetate, 51□19-144. A small round rim in a narrow profile, hand-finished so the curves are soft. At 51mm it sits neatly on small and medium faces; at higher prescriptions the smaller lens also cuts thinner at the edge.
Small oval, dark red acetate. A small rim covers less of the face and suits stronger prescriptions, because a smaller lens is thinner at the edge. Acetate carries deep colour and some thickness, so it reads clearly on the face.
Round metal, slim gold rim. A classic shape; the thin rim keeps it light and quiet. A round line softens faces with angles at the jaw and brow.
Gold oval metal, slim temples. A neutral shape that works on many faces. Metal is lighter than acetate, so it presses less on the ears and nose over a long day.
Red acetate cat-eye. The outer corners lift, drawing the eye toward the temples. For people who want the frame to be the point, not only a tool for seeing.
To compare materials, sizes and what a pair costs, read the frames guide. Or come to 147A Le Duan, Cua Nam, Hanoi and the team will put four or five shapes on your face to compare at the counter. Eye tests are free whether you buy or not, and the staff speak English.
