The Le Chelle is a retro-inspired frame, with subtle cues from an iconic glass worn by Hollywood royalty of the 1980's. Crafted completely with hard density cellulose acetate and adorned with signature 18K gold plated lens rings. Featuring intricate, wire injected temples with a fine filigree detail.
Cut from hard density cellulose acetate, a plant based material made from cotton and wood pulp. Each sheet is dried for 72 hours before it is shaped, so it takes a deep, high gloss polish and holds its form.
