Care Guide

Always put your frames on and take them off with both hands. Single-hand removal warps the temples over time — even the well-made ones.

Dust acts like sandpaper on lenses. Rinse with cool water first, then dry gently with the microfibre cloth that came with your frames. Skip the t-shirt, tissue, or sleeve.

For fingerprints, a drop of unscented dish soap and lukewarm water works. Avoid alcohol-based cleaners, glass cleaners, and anything with citrus — they break down lens coatings.

Use the case. Frames lying lens-down on a table will scratch. Frames in a bag without a case will scratch faster. The case is not optional.

Don’t leave acetate frames on a hot dashboard, near a stovetop, or in a steamy bathroom. Heat warps acetate and loosens metal joints over time.

If your frames feel loose or crooked, pop into any optical shop for a free adjustment. Don’t bend them back yourself — that’s how hinges break.
