The Liz Claiborne 631 Eyeglasses bring vintage-inspired butterfly styling to everyday prescription eyewear. These full-rim acetate frames feature the signature upswept corners that define the butterfly shape—a design that's been flattering women's faces since the mid-20th century and continues to be a go-to choice for anyone seeking a feminine, face-framing look.
Design & Fit
Available in two lens widths (52mm and 54mm) with a 16mm bridge and 135mm temples, the 631 accommodates a range of face sizes. The butterfly shape works particularly well for oval, heart-shaped, and square faces—the gentle outward curve at the top corners creates balance and draws attention to the cheekbones. The full-rim acetate construction provides maximum lens stability and durability, while spring hinges at the temples add flex and comfort for all-day wear.
You'll find this frame in three versatile finishes: Black Ivory offers a classic two-tone contrast, Camel Tortoise delivers warm, dappled tones with depth, and Navy Brown Pearl adds a subtle twist on traditional tortoiseshell. Each colorway is crafted from cellulose acetate, a plant-based material prized for its rich color saturation and ability to be adjusted for a custom fit.
Prescription-Ready & Practical
The Liz Claiborne 631 is fully prescription-ready and compatible with single-vision, bifocal, and progressive lenses. The generous lens area—a hallmark of butterfly frames—provides ample space for multifocal prescriptions without compromising the frame's proportions. Whether you need distance correction, readers, or progressives, these frames can handle it.
Acetate frames like the 631 are lightweight yet strong, making them ideal for active lifestyles. To keep them looking their best, rinse with lukewarm water and mild soap, avoid leaving them in hot cars or direct sunlight (acetate can warp at high temperatures), and store them in a protective case when not in use.
At this price point, the Liz Claiborne 631 delivers accessible style rooted in the brand's decades-long commitment to practical, well-designed fashion for women. It's a straightforward choice if you want a butterfly frame that works with your prescription and your budget.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the Liz Claiborne 631 eyeglasses prescription-ready?
Yes, the Liz Claiborne 631 frames are fully prescription-ready and compatible with single-vision, bifocal, and progressive lenses. The butterfly shape provides ample lens space, making them particularly well-suited for multifocal prescriptions. Simply provide your prescription details when ordering, and our licensed opticians will ensure your lenses are cut and fitted accurately.
What face shapes do butterfly eyeglasses like the Liz Claiborne 631 flatter?
Butterfly frames are versatile and flatter oval, heart-shaped, and square faces particularly well. The upswept corners create a lifting effect that accentuates cheekbones and can help balance broader foreheads or soften angular jawlines. The gentle outward curve at the top of the frame adds visual width where needed, making this a flattering choice for many face shapes.
What size options are available for the Liz Claiborne 631?
The Liz Claiborne 631 comes in two sizes: 52-16-135 and 54-16-135. The first number (52mm or 54mm) is the lens width, the second (16mm) is the bridge width, and the third (135mm) is the temple length. The 52mm size works well for small to medium faces, while the 54mm suits medium to larger faces. All measurements are in millimeters.
How do I care for acetate eyeglass frames?
Clean acetate frames with lukewarm water and a small amount of mild soap, then dry with a microfiber cloth. Avoid heat exposure—never leave them in hot cars or near heaters, as acetate can warp at relatively low temperatures. Store them in a protective case when not in use, and avoid using harsh chemicals, alcohol-based cleaners, or paper towels, which can scratch or damage the finish.
Do the Liz Claiborne 631 frames have spring hinges?
Yes, the Liz Claiborne 631 features spring hinges for added comfort and flexibility. Spring hinges allow the temples to flex outward slightly, accommodating different head sizes and reducing pressure on the temples during extended wear. This feature also helps the frames maintain their shape over time.
What colors are available for the Liz Claiborne 631?
The Liz Claiborne 631 is available in three color options: Black Ivory (a classic two-tone black front with ivory/cream temples), Camel Tortoise (warm amber and brown tortoiseshell pattern), and Navy Brown Pearl (a sophisticated navy-brown blend with subtle pearl finish). Each colorway is crafted from cellulose acetate for rich, dimensional color.

Liz Claiborne 631 vs. Similar Frames in Our Collection
If you're considering the Liz Claiborne 631, you might also want to compare it to other frames in the Liz Claiborne collection that offer similar value and styling.
Liz Claiborne 631 vs. Liz Claiborne 429
Both the 631 and the 429 sit in the same affordable price range ($37-$92) and share full-rim acetate construction with spring hinges. The key difference is frame shape: the 631 features the classic butterfly silhouette with upswept corners that flatter oval, heart, and square faces, while the 429 offers an alternative shape that may suit different facial features or style preferences. If you're specifically drawn to the face-framing, vintage-inspired look of butterfly frames, the 631 is your choice. If you prefer a different aesthetic but want to stay within the same brand and price point, the 429 is worth exploring.
Liz Claiborne 631 vs. Liz Claiborne L441
The L441 represents a step up in the Liz Claiborne lineup, priced at $85-$127 compared to the 631's $37-$85 range. Both offer the quality and design sensibility Liz Claiborne is known for, but the L441 typically features premium finishes or enhanced details. For budget-conscious shoppers or those seeking straightforward, reliable eyewear, the 631 delivers excellent value. If you're willing to invest more for potential upgrades in materials or design complexity, the L441 is worth considering—but for most customers seeking a classic butterfly frame at an accessible price, the 631 hits the sweet spot.
Our recommendation: The Liz Claiborne 631 is the best choice if you want an affordable, prescription-ready butterfly frame with versatile color options and proven comfort features like spring hinges. It's a smart pick for anyone building their first pair of prescription glasses or adding a classic shape to their rotation without overspending.
