The Salvatore Ferragamo SF2988 eyeglasses bring Italian luxury to everyday prescription eyewear. This full-rim rectangle frame is built from injected acetate—a plant-based material prized for its durability, lightweight comfort, and rich color depth that won't fade over time. The SF2988 features clean lines and a bold rectangular shape that works well for round or oval face shapes, adding structure without overwhelming your features.
Available in four versatile finishes—solid Black, Transparent Azure blue, Transparent Brown, and Light Crystal Grey—each colorway shows off acetate's ability to hold deep, layered tones. The temples carry the FERRAGAMO name in gold lettering, a subtle mark of authenticity. At 54mm lens width, 17mm bridge, and 145mm temple length, the SF2988 offers a medium fit suited to most adult faces.
These frames are prescription-ready and progressive-eligible, so you can add single-vision, bifocal, or progressive lenses to match your vision needs. Acetate's flexibility means the frame can be adjusted for a custom fit by an optician, and its hypoallergenic properties make it comfortable for all-day wear—no pressure marks or irritation. The full-rim design provides excellent lens stability, important if you're using higher prescriptions or thinner lens materials.
Salvatore Ferragamo has been synonymous with Italian craftsmanship since the brand opened its first shop in 1948. Today, the eyewear collection—designed in partnership with Marchon—carries forward that legacy of quality materials, thoughtful proportion, and understated style. The SF2988 fits into Ferragamo's philosophy of refined, wearable luxury: frames that enhance your look without demanding attention.

What face shapes work best with the SF2988 rectangle frames?
Rectangle frames like the SF2988 are ideal for round and oval face shapes, as the angular lines add definition and balance to softer features.

What are the benefits of acetate frames?
Acetate is a plant-based material known for superior durability, lightweight comfort, and vibrant color retention that resists fading. It's hypoallergenic, flexible enough for custom adjustments, and more eco-friendly than petroleum-based plastics. Acetate frames are comfortable for all-day wear and won't leave pressure marks on your nose.

The SF2988 measures 54mm lens width, 17mm bridge width, and 145mm temple length (54-17-145). This is considered a medium fit suitable for most adult faces. The lens height is approximately 37mm, providing good vertical coverage for progressive or bifocal lenses.
