11th January 2012 Acetate frames come in all variants…if you see as many frames as we do, then it’s obvious that there are some truly outstanding ones around, but I always think it’s a point that should be illustrated as there is so much choice these days….if you are shopping for a new acetate frame and you want a good one, then it is worth studying what’s on the shelves and comparing the colours and detail of the pattern or finish ….here I have picked out some first favourites for 2012 which have been photographed to highlight the stunning transparency and vibrancy of the material at its finest. Pictured above: La Polverosa by the Italian label L.G.R. www.lgr-sunglasses.com. This design comes in a range of beautiful acetates, including the soft horn-like tone pictured, a look that is very much of the moment.
In the industry, Italian cellulose acetates (also known as zyl) and some of the Japanese ones are considered to be at the top of the league with the Italian producer Mazzucchelli being the most popular choice for the highest quality labels…the colour tones, depth of pattern, detail and overall beauty of the material tend to be very pleasing to the eye if you choose a top-quality one, giving the frames a special lightness and luminosity on the face….see for yourselves in these elegant examples.
