5300a In Violet

What you are looking at is 5300a In Violet by ITALIA INDEPENDENT, a pair of frames. Material sets the feel: acetate is warm and adjustable, metal is thinner and lighter, and each ages differently. Take them on and off with both hands — one-handed does more than anything else to pull a frame out of alignment. Where one is discounted, compare the size and edition rather than the headline alone. Keep them away from heat: a dashboard in summer is enough to soften a frame and lift a lens coating. The best deal and the cheapest sticker price are not always the same listing once delivery is counted.
