Cutler and Gross The Great Frog Mini Cat Eye Opticals

A cat eye, shrunk. The Mini Cat Eye from Cutler and Gross's The Great Frog line is an optical frame in acetate, and the compact scale is what makes it interesting - the lift at the outer corners reads as precision rather than performance.

Four colourways cover a lot of ground. Black is graphic and final. Havana is the warm, patterned classic. Bordeaux brings depth and a touch of red. Deep Teal is the outlier, and the one people tend to remember.

As the name says, this is a small frame: the front is close and contained, sitting neatly toward the centre of the face rather than reaching outward. It suits narrower and smaller faces naturally, and anyone who has been searching for a cat eye that does not overwhelm.
