Kate Spade ILANA vs. Similar Square Frames
If you're drawn to the ILANA's square shape and Kate Spade's playful aesthetic, you might also be considering the Payton or Jalisha. Here's how they compare.
ILANA vs. Payton
Both frames offer a flattering square silhouette in the same price range ($56-$141), but the construction differs. The ILANA features full-rim acetate with metal corewire detail running through the temples—a subtle mixed-material approach. The Payton takes a bolder route with visible metal accents on the temples, creating more contrast between materials. If you prefer understated elegance with hidden details (like the ILANA's floral temple pattern and "SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU" inscription), the ILANA is the better choice. If you like more obvious metal-and-plastic contrast, consider the Payton.
ILANA vs. Jalisha
The Jalisha is a full-acetate square frame priced at $100.17, making it a close alternative to the ILANA. The main difference is material composition: the Jalisha is all acetate, while the ILANA incorporates metal corewire for added structure and a refined finish. The ILANA's mixed-material design gives it a slightly more sophisticated look, and the floral temple detail adds a feminine touch you won't find on every Kate Spade frame. Both work well for small to medium faces and round or oval face shapes.
Why Choose the ILANA?
The ILANA stands out for its thoughtful details—the floral pattern on the temples, the hidden inscription, and the balanced acetate-and-metal construction. It's a frame that looks professional from the front but reveals personality up close. At a starting price of $57, it delivers Kate Spade's signature charm without the premium price tag of some designer frames.
