Our female customers asked us to make a rimless style for petite faces. We then learned that a large number of men wanted very small rimless frames too. We believe we met the challenge of both with our Academia Oblongs by offering a rimless frame suitable for both genders, with a diminutive eye size of only 41 mm. The extenders at the joinder of the temple and lens allows these frames to fit comfortably on normal sized and small faces.

They are truly distinctive due to the exquisitely formed bridge, and the discrete angle we blended into the oval shape. If you are not yet sold on these treasures, you ought to consider whom we saw wearing frames like our Academia Oblongs. When we investigated college campus life for suggestions about the frame styles we might offer to our customers, our researchers were surprised to discover that frames like these were often found on the faces of the most attractive members of the university community. Then they realized that the frames actually formed part of the attractiveness. Their traditional "T" fitted hardware to hold the lenses, and rigid design makes all of our Tuxedo Rimless styles about as sturdy as rimless frames can be made. The temples and bridge are non-allergenic due to substantial coats of lacquer over dark bronzed-gold Monel metal.
