Chantelle 974

Chantelle 974 Prescription Glasses

Not quite round, not quite square, and that is exactly why this shape works on so many faces. The Chantelle 974 is a unisex full-rim rounded square frame, sized 52-16-140, in Brown Mottle, Fawn Mottle or Pink Mottle. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription.

Which colour is you?

Brown Mottle. In Brown Mottle, the frame is mottled brown crystal. It is a classic that looks relaxed and a little bit vintage.

Fawn Mottle. In Fawn Mottle, the frame is mottled fawn crystal. It blends in rather than stands out, which many people find easy to wear every day.

Pink Mottle. The Pink Mottle version is mottled pink crystal. It flatters warm and olive skin and works with almost any outfit.

Each colour is shown in the gallery, so you can compare them side by side before you decide.

Design details

The rounded corners and straight lines balance most face shapes, especially oval, square and heart-shaped faces. The crystal finish is clear and fresh, and it lets your features take centre stage.

A mottled finish adds texture and warmth without being busy.

Whether it is your main pair or a spare, the Chantelle 974 is easy to live with. The Chantelle 974 also makes a handy spare pair for the car or the office.

How to wear it

Keep the rest of your look simple and let the frame do the talking. It works just as well with workwear as it does with weekend clothes.

Frame size and fit

The 52mm lenses make this a medium frame that suits most faces. The 16mm bridge is on the narrow side. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 120mm.

To check the fit, look at the three numbers printed inside the arm of glasses you already own. If they are within two or three millimetres, this frame should feel similar.

Lens options for the Chantelle 974

Pick the lenses that match your prescription:

• Single vision: one clear prescription across the whole lens.
• Bifocal: distance on top, a reading segment below.
• Progressive: smooth vision from near to far in one lens, no line.
• Ready readers: off-the-shelf magnification for books and screens.

At 42mm, the lens depth is deeper than most frames in our range, so progressive lenses have lots of room. Stronger prescription? A high-index lens keeps things thin and light. An anti-reflective, scratch-resistant coating is worth adding too, especially if you drive at night.

Before you order

Check that your prescription is current; an eye test every couple of years is a good habit, and your optometrist will tell you how often you need one. You will also need your PD, which tells the lab where to centre the lenses so you look through the right spot. With those two things in hand, ordering takes just a few minutes: choose your colour, pick your lenses, enter your details and you are done.

How your glasses are made

Every pair is made to order. Our UK optical lab cuts your lenses to your prescription, fits them into your Chantelle 974 and then sends your glasses to you in Australia.

Keep them looking new

Clean the lenses with lens spray and a soft cloth, fold the arms before you put them down, and keep them in a hard case when they are not on your face. Our guide to caring for your lenses covers the rest.
