The cat eye is one of the few frame shapes that changes a face the moment it goes on, lifting the outer corner of the eye and adding a note of drama. The 9317 Cat Eye Sunglasses handle that with restraint rather than theatrics.
Lens width is 51mm across each lens, a moderate size that keeps the shape sharp rather than sprawling. It suits smaller and average faces particularly well, and it is the right call for anyone who wants the cat eye line without committing to an oversized frame.
Three acetate colourways are available. Black on Crystal is the graphic one, dark over clear. Burnt Sunset brings warmth and depth. Brush Stroke is the most expressive, and the least likely to be seen on anyone else.
Cutler and Gross is a British eyewear house whose frames are made by hand. Next Level Optical is an authorised dealer, and availability is confirmed with the supplier the same day.
