The Saint Laurent SL M117 Eyeglasses bring modern sophistication to the classic cat-eye silhouette. These women's prescription eyeglasses feature a full-rim acetate frame in a wearable cat-eye shape that flatters without overwhelming—softer and more versatile than vintage extremes, but with enough lift at the outer corners to add definition and draw attention to the eyes.
Signature YSL Monogram Detail
What sets the SL M117 apart is the iconic YSL monogram logo positioned on each hinge. This subtle-yet-recognizable detail is a hallmark of Saint Laurent's eyewear, adding a touch of luxury without shouting. The gold-tone hardware contrasts beautifully against the acetate in every color option.
Recycled Acetate Construction
The frames are constructed from recycled acetate—a lightweight, durable material that holds color beautifully and can be adjusted for a custom fit. Acetate is hypoallergenic and more comfortable for all-day wear than cheaper plastics. The SL M117 measures 53mm lens width, 17mm bridge, and 140mm temple length, fitting most small to medium faces. The single-bridge design and standard hinges ensure easy repairs and long-term durability.
Prescription-Ready & Versatile
These frames are fully prescription-ready and progressive-lens compatible, making them as functional as they are stylish. Cat-eye frames like the SL M117 are especially flattering on round and oval face shapes, adding angular definition and balance. The upswept corners create a lifted effect that complements high cheekbones and softens rounder features. Available colors include classic black, havana tortoise, nude, green, and burgundy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the Saint Laurent SL M117 eyeglasses prescription-ready?
Yes, the SL M117 frames are fully prescription-ready and can accommodate single-vision, progressive, and bifocal lenses. The full-rim acetate construction provides excellent lens retention and stability. These frames are also compatible with high-index lenses for stronger prescriptions, ensuring a thinner, lighter final product.
What face shape works best with cat-eye eyeglasses like the SL M117?
Cat-eye frames are particularly flattering on round and oval face shapes. The angular upswept corners add definition to softer features and create visual balance. For round faces, the sharp edges provide structure; for oval faces, the gentle cat-eye shape complements natural symmetry. Square and heart-shaped faces can also wear cat-eyes with softer curves like the SL M117.
What are the frame measurements for the Saint Laurent SL M117?
The SL M117 measures 53mm lens width, 17mm bridge width, and 140mm temple length (53-17-140). This is considered a small to medium fit, suitable for most women's faces. The lens height is approximately 38mm, providing good coverage without being oversized.
What is the YSL monogram logo detail on the hinges?
The iconic YSL monogram logo is integrated into the hinge of each temple as a signature design element. This gold-tone metal detail is a hallmark of Saint Laurent's eyewear collection, adding a subtle luxury touch that's recognizable without being overly branded. It's both decorative and functional as part of the hinge mechanism.
Are the SL M117 frames made from sustainable materials?
Yes, the Saint Laurent SL M117 is constructed from recycled acetate for both the front frame and temples. Recycled acetate is an eco-friendly material that maintains the same durability, color vibrancy, and comfort as traditional acetate while reducing environmental impact. It's also hypoallergenic and lightweight for all-day wear.
What comes included with the Saint Laurent SL M117 eyeglasses?
The Saint Laurent SL M117 eyeglasses come with a protective carrying case and cleaning cloth. All Saint Laurent eyewear is 100% authentic and includes genuine packaging and brand certification. The frames arrive with demo lenses that should be replaced with your prescription lenses.

Saint Laurent SL M117 vs. Similar Designer Eyeglasses
If you're drawn to the Saint Laurent SL M117's cat-eye silhouette and luxury details, you might also be considering other high-end acetate frames. Here's how the SL M117 compares to two popular alternatives in our collection.
SL M117 vs. Gucci Sensual Romantic GG0025O
Both the Saint Laurent SL M117 and the Gucci GG0025O are Italian-made cat-eye acetate frames designed for women, but they take different approaches to luxury. The SL M117 features a softer, more wearable cat-eye shape with the signature YSL monogram on the hinges and is made from recycled acetate. The Gucci GG0025O, part of the Sensual Romantic collection, tends toward a more dramatic vintage cat-eye with Gucci's signature logo detailing and comes in at a slightly lower price point ($172–$189 vs. $239–$259).
Choose the SL M117 if you prefer a modern, understated cat-eye with eco-friendly materials and Saint Laurent's minimalist aesthetic. Choose the Gucci GG0025O if you want a more pronounced vintage cat-eye shape and prefer Gucci's ornate design language.
SL M117 vs. Saint Laurent Monogram SL M33/F
Staying within the Saint Laurent family, the SL M33/F offers the same YSL monogram hinge detail and quality construction at a nearly identical price ($239). The key difference is shape: the SL M117 is a cat-eye, while the SL M33/F features a different silhouette (typically rectangular or oval, depending on the variant).
Choose the SL M117 if you love the face-flattering lift and definition that cat-eye frames provide, especially if you have a round or oval face. Choose the SL M33/F if you want the same Saint Laurent quality and signature details but prefer a more traditional frame shape.
Our recommendation: The SL M117 is the standout choice for anyone seeking a versatile, modern cat-eye that works for both professional and casual settings. Its recycled acetate construction, wearable proportions, and iconic YSL hinge detail make it a smart investment that balances trend and longevity.
