TGG:
Design Overview
A sleek low-profile rectangular acetate frame with a subtle cat-eye influence and gently upswept outer corners. The deep chocolate brown gives the angular silhouette warmth while still maintaining a polished, fashion-forward appearance.
- Frame Type: Full-rim acetate with narrow rectangular lenses and a slight upsweep.
- Construction: Integrated acetate bridge with substantial endpieces and a relatively shallow lens depth.
- Details: Small vertical silver accents at the outer corners add a refined decorative element without distracting from the clean shape. The gently dipped browline through the center gives the frame additional architectural character.
Fit & Comfort
The shallow lens depth and relatively horizontal proportions make this a particularly flattering option for round, oval, and longer faces, where the angular shape can introduce definition and structure. The slight lift at the outer corners also creates a subtle visual lifting effect without becoming an exaggerated cat-eye.
Because it has a fixed acetate bridge, the bridge fit is important: ideally it should make even contact without pinching at the sides of the nose or allowing the frame to slide. The shallow lens area is well suited to many single-vision prescriptions, though progressive wearers should have the available fitting height checked carefully before choosing this frame.
Perfect For
A strong choice for someone wanting an independent, fashion-conscious everyday frame that feels more distinctive than a conventional rectangle without becoming overly dramatic. The combination of chocolate acetate, narrow proportions, subtle cat-eye lift, and restrained metal detailing gives it a sophisticated editorial quality that can work equally well with minimalist clothing or more expressive styling.
Tejesta:
The Parker is a slender soliloquy, molded with sharp arrowhead edges as a late sixties silhouette, carved from time with a thick temple that rides flush with the frame front. Those who don this frame become the harbinger of an unspoken ethos; an aura of attitude graces the wearer, rendering it a choice not for the masses, but a select few who understand its silent eloquence, allowing one's personality to resonate in profound silence. A piece for the chronicle chief, united in a subtle cat eye design.
Size:
Eye: 52mm
Bridge 21.5mm
Temple: 145mm
Find Your Fit
Frame Sizing Isn't What it Seems:
Let me throw a wrench to everything you might think you know about finding the right "size" glasses. While many people think a couple of simple numbers can determine the needed frame size, more often that not, that's just not the case. The numbers I'm referring to are the A or Eye size (Lens width), and the DBL or Bridge size (distance between the two lenses). While these numbers can be helpful guidelines, not all frames with the same numbers will fit the same way. Just like your clothes don't all fit exactly the same even with the same waist measure, neither do all frames.
Why Don't The Numbers Tell Me the Right Size?
This is a great question, and comes down to the wide array of materials used to make the frames! The distance from the edge of the lens to where the temple (arms, bows, whatever you want to call them) go back to the head and thickness of the temples themselves are just a couple of the factors. Add in different bridge designs with the same width and totally different fits and construction, and things get hairy quickly!
So, How Can I Even Figure Out What To Buy?
Pay close attention to the actual construction of the frame. Opticians know these tricks well and our staff is happy to assist if needed, just send us a picture, and what it is you personally want out of your next eyewear function and style wise. For a guideline for yourself though, look at the material thickness from the outer lens to the edge, this can be just one or two millimeters, on up to several or as much as ten or more millimeters in the cases of some specialty designs for high prescriptions! Next pay attention to the thickness of the material in the bridge, and the way it tapers. These subtle cues can give you a great impression of how the frame will fit on you with just a little visualization!
Does a Frame Always Need to Fit Perfectly?
Contrary to the optical worlds opinion, NO. You don't need perfect central alignment, or frames exactly the width of your head. What you do need, are certain lines to flow well with your face, colors that work for your complexion and wardrobe, and knowing whether you want to have a look that is bold and oversized, or small petite and minimal, or any combination of the two. There is a fine line between oversized and TOO BIG, so do dredge into this area with caution. This is where we come in, if you're not sure, let us help!
What if I Like Really Different?
Welcome to the party, you're one of us.
