Kate Spade Laval vs. Similar Frames in Our Collection
If you're drawn to the Kate Spade Laval's cat-eye shape and playful design, you might also consider these alternatives from the same collection:
Laval vs. Atalina: Cat-Eye Style Showdown
The Kate Spade Atalina ($55-$141.57) offers a similar cat-eye silhouette at a comparable price, but with full acetate construction instead of the Laval's acetate-and-metal combination. The Atalina leans into Kate Spade's playful side with geometric cat-eye angles and pattern options including floral designs on the frame front. If you want a lighter, all-acetate frame with a bolder, more whimsical look, the Atalina delivers. But if you prefer the refined contrast of metal temples and a more polished, versatile aesthetic, the Laval's mixed-material design gives you that elevated feel without adding much weight.
Laval vs. Johnna: Budget vs. Premium
The Kate Spade Johnna ($110.86) sits at nearly double the Laval's price point, representing the premium tier of Kate Spade's optical collection. While both frames share the brand's signature playful details and quality acetate construction, the Johnna's higher price suggests more refined finishing, potentially hand-polished details, or exclusive colorways. For most shoppers, the Laval offers exceptional value—you get the Kate Spade design DNA, quality materials, and prescription-ready versatility without the premium markup. Save the extra $50+ for lens upgrades like anti-reflective coating or blue-light filtering.
Laval vs. Brylie: Cat-Eye or Classic Rectangle?
If you love Kate Spade's aesthetic but aren't sure about the cat-eye shape, the Kate Spade Brylie ($50-$137.28) gives you a rectangular alternative with the same patterned temple interiors and playful color options. Rectangular frames suit different face shapes—particularly oval and round faces that want more structure—and read as more conservative in professional settings. The Brylie won't give you the face-lifting, cheekbone-highlighting effect of the Laval's upswept corners, but it's a solid choice if your workplace or personal style skews more traditional. The Laval wins if you want a frame that feels current, feminine, and just different enough to stand out.
Our take: The Kate Spade Laval hits a sweet spot—modern cat-eye styling that's wearable (not costume-y), quality acetate-and-metal construction, and a price that makes designer eyewear accessible. The playful temple patterns give you that Kate Spade signature without overwhelming the design, and the four color options mean you can match your wardrobe or try something new. For the price, it's hard to find a better combination of style, quality, and versatility in a prescription-ready cat-eye frame.
