Frequently Asked Questions
Shoppers Guide To Buying Acetate Glasses Frames
What are acetate glasses?
Acetate glasses are frames made out of plant-based plastic. Acetate is a sturdy, impact and water-resistant durable material which retains its colour and brightness for quite some time. Many eco-friendly brands have opted for acetate as not only is it sustainable but durable. It can also be designed in different patterns and colours such as tortoise shell or pink. If you’re looking for a unique pair of acetate eyewear frames, we have plenty of different styles that will cater to your taste.
Are acetate glasses frames better than plastic glasses frames?
Acetate glasses are often considered superior to traditional plastic frames, thanks to their exceptional durability, style, and eco-friendly characteristics.
Derived from plants, acetate is a non-petroleum product, offering increased strength, flexibility, and hypoallergenic properties compared to regular plastic cellulose fibers. This lightweight, high-quality material ensures long-lasting comfort and resilience.
Additionally, acetate glasses frames exhibit greater resistance to pressure, allowing us to provide a diverse range of sustainable styles.
Are acetate glasses frames eco-friendly?
As mentioned earlier, acetate is eco-friendly as it is plant-based. Unlike plastic which is completely synthetic, it is derived from wood pulp and cotton.
