Cutler and Gross 9298 Cat Eye Opticals

Obsidian is the only colourway here, and it suits the frame: a deep, dark finish on a cat eye front with a decisive upward sweep at the outer edges.

The 9298 has a 49mm lens width, which is the measurement across a single lens. At 49mm it is a small frame, close-fitting and neat, and a good option if wider opticals tend to slide or swamp your features. The cat eye lift introduces height and angle where a rectangular frame would sit flat.

Acetate, handcrafted in the way this British house has always made its frames.
