Top 3 Black Eyewear Frames

Slow Fashion

One of the most loved aspects of black eyewear is that it always remains in fashion. The dark tones give leniency with contrasting different colours and prints. Something many feel can’t be achieved by other coloured frames. Black eyewear is simple, timeless and 1950s classic, with the majority of the population still adoring the neutral look whilst still being bold. You don’t need colour or design to stand out.

Our top 3 Black Eyewear 

Manfred

Samuel L Jackson                                                                       

COCO LENI limited edition frame Featured is our frame ‘manfred.’ One which strikes strong similarities with a frame worn by the very popular actor Samuel L Jackson. It’s a stunning retro come modern style which features the timeless round shape. Perfect for those with more angled features as it softens the face shape. This frame provides an effortless casual look which is loved by so many. 

Emilie

 Anne Hathaway                                                                                         

A stunningly oversized rounded look making your sharper features appear softer. ‘emilie‘ is one of COCO LENI’S limited edition eyewear which not only follows the slow fashion but also the unique larger style. Even though it is more quirky than a smaller frame it still provides a classy professional look. It’s size doesn’t affect its weight making it a comfortable and durable choice. 

Starke

 Jeff Goldblum                                                                                               

This bold, thick style can give you a youthful look. Just like with celebrities such as Jeff Goldblum and Robert Downy Jr. A chunkier frame is a statement piece that can be worn by anyone, regardless of age. ‘Starke’ displays the same qualities like that which is worn by the rich and famous. Just because it’s popular amongst the celebrities doesn’t mean it will be over your budget. This look is affordable fashion. The strong angles help to define certain facial features and draw attention to the eyes which are, as we all know, windows to the soul. 

Made to Last

Our frames at COCO LENI are made to last with some even having a 10 year warranty. So what is it that makes our frames last? Firstly the sustainable material we use. The most  prominent material for black frames– Cellulose acetate. It is known as bio plastic. Made from fibre of cotton plants making it an environmentally friendly material. Some of our frames exhibit a thicker size meaning they are less likely to warp in shape.

Secondly we use riveted hinges. Most frames you’ll see with two small silver circles on either side, some companies will stick them on with glue to complete a ‘look’ however we take pride in the quality of our frames, especially as they are handcrafted. This means we use the original method of carefully hammering pins through the acetate and welding them to the hinge. This method is known to be the strongest and most durable way to attach hinges. We feel it’s important this method is used as the hinges bare the most stress of the frame. 

Black frames exhibit both durability and time tested favouritism. It’s never a wrong choice to pick a black frame.
