Kate Spade VIOLETTE vs. Similar Frames
If you're considering the Kate Spade VIOLETTE, you might also be comparing it to other full-rim acetate frames in the Kate Spade collection. Here's how the VIOLETTE stacks up against similar options.
VIOLETTE vs. Rainey
Both the VIOLETTE and the Kate Spade Rainey feature oval shapes and full-rim acetate construction, making them natural comparisons. The Rainey is known for its statement temples and starts at a slightly lower price point ($49-$130 vs. $58-$103 for the VIOLETTE). The VIOLETTE's spring hinges and distinctive havana color patterns give it a slight edge in comfort and visual interest, while the Rainey's bold temple details appeal to those who want more decorative elements. Both are excellent choices for angular or square face shapes.
VIOLETTE vs. Laurianne
The Kate Spade Laurianne ($58-$161) offers a different frame shape while maintaining the same quality acetate construction and prescription-ready versatility. If you're drawn to the VIOLETTE's oval shape specifically because it flatters your face, the Laurianne's alternative geometry might not provide the same softening effect on angular features. However, if you're open to exploring different shapes, the Laurianne's higher price ceiling suggests additional design details worth considering.
Why Choose the VIOLETTE?
The VIOLETTE stands out for its classic oval shape, distinctive havana patterns with mint temple tips, and spring hinge construction. It's an ideal choice if you have an angular or square face and want a versatile frame that works in both professional and casual settings. The two size options (49mm and 51mm) ensure a proper fit, and the full-rim design provides excellent lens security for all prescription types, including progressives.
