Celine CL40214U

What the CL40214U is

What you get is a rectangular front, wider than it is tall. There is a full rim all the way round each lens. It rests on a plain single bridge, and the nose rest is part of the frame. The feed gives the material as acetate. Acetate is the plant-based plastic that most designer frames are cut and polished from sheet; it holds deep colour and an optician can re-adjust it with heat. It has wide acetate temples. The branding runs along the outside of the temple. Its signature is the thick flat top brow. Colour 39A is how Celine labels this version.

How it fits

Written on the inside of the temple as 57-13-140, those are the lens width, bridge width and temple length in millimetres. At 57 mm across the lens this is a large frame. No one adjusts the fit before it ships; an optician can tweak the nose and temple bend in minutes.

What the lens does

The lenses are grey. Grey is the neutral tint: it dims light evenly without shifting colours. An even, flat tint. The supplier's data carries no polarization or UV rating for this pair, so we claim none.

What you get, and how it ships
