Kate Spade MURIEL vs. Similar Cat-Eye Eyeglasses
If you're drawn to the Kate Spade MURIEL's cat-eye silhouette, you might also be considering other frames in the Kate Spade collection. Here's how the MURIEL stacks up against comparable options in our catalog.
MURIEL vs. Atalina
Both the MURIEL and the Kate Spade Atalina offer cat-eye styling with full-rim acetate construction. The MURIEL distinguishes itself with its semi-rimless design and rose gold metal lower rim, creating a lighter, more modern two-tone aesthetic. The Atalina leans into a more traditional full-acetate cat-eye look. If you prefer the classic cat-eye vibe, the Atalina delivers; if you want something with a contemporary twist and metal accents, the MURIEL is your frame. Both are priced similarly ($48.50-$106.57 for MURIEL vs. $55-$141.57 for Atalina) and work beautifully with progressive lenses.
MURIEL vs. Emmalee
The Kate Spade Emmalee sits in the same price range as the MURIEL ($55-$106.57) but offers a different frame shape. If you're set on the cat-eye look for its face-flattering upswept corners, the MURIEL is the better choice. The Emmalee may appeal to those who want Kate Spade's playful design language in a different silhouette. Both frames are prescription-ready and built with the same quality acetate, so your decision comes down to shape preference and which style best complements your face.
Why Choose the MURIEL?
The MURIEL stands out in the Kate Spade lineup for its spring hinge comfort, semi-rimless metal detailing, and versatile cat-eye shape that flatters round and heart-shaped faces. At this price point, you're getting authentic designer eyewear with practical features like progressive lens compatibility and a secure full-rim fit. The four color options—from classic black to vibrant blue—give you flexibility to match your wardrobe and personality.
