This frame material is mostly used in cheap sunglasses. When creating a frame out of acetate, a flat sheet of the material is sawn (either by hand or CNC) into the design of the frame and then heat shaped to add curve and inclination. By mixing different colors of melted acetate, beautiful color combinations can be created, in layers (in all directions) or in swirls, giving it a turtle look, but in every possible color. Acetate retains its color brightness impeccably over time because its hue is embedded in the material rather than sprayed on which also prevents any color peeling.

A high-quality plastic originating from the renewable resources of wood pulp and natural cotton fibers. The most used material when it comes to quality designer frames is definitely acetate. However, I would like to describe the basic types of frame materials and what features or aesthetics they offer.

Frame materials also vary depending on the prescription of the lens and each individual’s needs and lifestyle, and new innovative engineering creates different options every year or sow. The options for glasses frames are never-ending, reflecting the personal style of the wearer and holding the lenses in place.
