Lunettes de tortue

Tortoise shell used to be the semi-transparent yellow and brown shells of certain turtles, typically used to make jewellery or ornaments. Today, accessories aren’t made out of the actual shell but the pattern has been replicated. It also comes in different colours like brown and grey, blue and black and many more. The Trust Grey is a perfect example of tortoise shell glasses.

Tortoise shell glasses aren’t made from natural tortoise shells, but patterns were replicated using materials such as acetate and wood. Most of our designs feature acetate glasses for more durable and sustainable glasses.

The tortoise glasses are timeless frames. Their pattern is the perfect amount of subtle yet stylish, making it coveted and loved by many people. Fashion experts say that it’s popular because tortoise glasses suit pretty much everyone and anyone. In addition, their warm brown and amber colours will brighten darker skin tones, while a softer option is great for fair skin types where black frames can be a little too harsh.

On the contrary, tortoise frames can be worn by both men and women. These frames have proved to be unisex and loved by a lot of men. The Fierce Black eyeglasses are the perfect tortoise glasses for men as they are a mix of masculinity and sophistication.

They look good on everyone! This is the reason tortoise shell frame glasses remain on top of trends. Their unique and timeless appeal is coveted by many fashion stylists. That's why every glasses wearer owns a pair of tortoise frames. Nowadays, they are available in a wide range of styles, colours and shapes.
