The Intellectual Aesthetic: Introducing the B-AC13A
If the rectangular frame is the uniform of the corporate boardroom, the round frame is the signature of the studio, the library, and the architect’s drafting table.
There is a reason the "Panto" shape—a classic round lens with a high hinge—has endured for nearly a century. It conveys a sense of cultivated intelligence and creativity that angular frames often miss. Our newest addition to the Bespoke Collection, the B-AC13A, captures this spirit perfectly.
Finished in a deep, dappled tortoiseshell, the B-AC13A softens the facial features rather than sharpening them. It is a frame for the thinker and the creative; it suggests a wearer who values character over convention. The acetate is polished to a glass-like sheen, highlighting the warm amber undertones that make tortoiseshell so universally flattering.
As with all our bespoke eyewear, the beauty of the B-AC13A is matched by its optical precision. We don’t sell pre-made magnifications off the shelf. Instead, your frame is sent to a dedicated UK optical laboratory, where it is custom-glazed to your specific reading requirements. This ensures that your vision is as sharp as your style.
For those looking to move away from the standard rectangular silhouette, the B-AC13A offers a refreshing, sophisticated alternative.
