Bobbi Brown The Susan Cat Eye Eyeglasses – Flexible Hinges

Description

Bobbi Brown The Susan Women’s Cat Eye Half-Rim Flexible Hinges Premium Eyeglasses

For the woman seeking understated sophistication in her daily accessories, the Bobbi Brown Susan frames blend classic cat-eye architecture with contemporary comfort. These glasses sit lightly on the bridge of your nose, their half-rim design creating an airy aesthetic that feels both vintage-inspired and modern. You’ll notice how they catch light differently throughout the day—from morning coffee in a sunlit café to evening meetings under artificial lighting.

Key Features

The flexible hinges provide a subtle give when putting on or removing the glasses, preventing that stiff pressure behind your ears that some frames create. The Havana color develops a richer patina over time, with the frame’s material showing minimal fingerprint smudges compared to darker finishes. The cat-eye angle is deliberately subtle—not dramatically upswept—making these frames suitable for both professional environments and casual weekends. One quirk: the demo lenses have a printed logo that catches light at certain angles until replaced with prescription lenses.

Specifications

Frame color: Havana | Lens height: 34mm | Available sizes: 49mm and 51mm | Model: The Susan | Department: Women’s | First available: April 2020 | Includes generic hard case or pouch | Manufactured in China | Demo lenses require optical store replacement for daily wear.

Usage Scenarios

During a full workday, the lightweight construction remains comfortable even after 8+ hours of wear, though you might occasionally adjust the fit when switching between computer work and moving about the office. The half-rim design means there’s no frame obstruction in your lower peripheral vision, making these particularly suitable for active professionals who frequently reference documents while typing. In social settings, the cat-eye shape subtly lifts facial features without overwhelming your expression—notice how people maintain eye contact rather than staring at your frames.

Target Audience

These frames suit women aged 25-55 who value timeless design over trend-driven aesthetics. The Susan works particularly well for professionals in creative industries, education, or client-facing roles where accessories should communicate refinement without distraction. The frame flatters oval, round, and heart-shaped faces by adding definition to the cheekbones while balancing broader foreheads. Those seeking dramatic cat-eye silhouettes might find the angle too conservative, while minimalists will appreciate the balanced proportions.

FAQ

Are these glasses ready to wear immediately?

No, they arrive with demo lenses containing printed logos that obstruct vision. You’ll need to visit an optical store to have prescription or plain lenses fitted before daily use.

What face shapes do these frames suit best?

The Susan cat eye design particularly flatters oval, round, and heart-shaped faces by adding angular definition to soft curves and balancing wider foreheads.

Is the included case the original Bobbi Brown case?

No, the frame comes with a generic hard case or pouch rather than branded packaging. The case provides basic protection but lacks the premium feel of original manufacturer accessories.

How durable are the flexible hinges?

The hinges provide gentle flexibility for comfort but aren’t designed for extreme bending. They maintain their shape through normal daily use including putting on, removing, and occasional adjustment.

Do the frames feel heavy during extended wear?

At 34mm lens height with half-rim construction, the frames remain lightweight through full-day wear. Most users report no significant pressure on the nose bridge or behind ears.
