New Circa Collection at Warby Parker

These mixed-material frames are four years in the making—with over a century of history behind their design. Handcrafted acetate extends from each metal eyewire, accentuating their shapes with unexpected depth. Circumscribed by historically inspired, cellulose acetate rims, these frames trace their design lineage back to the beginning of the nineteenth century. (This name subtly alludes to that sense of history, “circa 1800,” and to the rimmed or encompassed construction of the frames.) This construction is an excellent example of how vintage styles can be reinvented to create a fresh and modern look. The design inspiration draws on traditional eyewear design, but incorporates sleek metal elements to give it a contemporary twist. By using innovative techniques such as pressing line detail and advanced CNC cutting of the side shield detail, this eyewear construction breathes new life into a classic style, making it a perfect accessory for those who want to stay on-trend while embracing the past.

Styling
● For customers concerned about lens edge thickness, these frames may be a good option since the
acetate blinders will hide most of the edge thickness.
● The SKUs in this collection are a mix of “medium” or “wide” fit, so please be mindful of fit when styling
customers with stronger prescriptions.
● Nestor has the smallest lens sizes and is round in shape, making it best for customers with high minus
prescriptions and/or narrow PD measurements
● Dante Wide and Earle Wide have the largest lens sizes – customers with high minus prescriptions and/or narrow PD measurements should avoid these frames
