Scott Harris SH898 vs. Similar Women's Oval Frames
If you're considering the Scott Harris SH898, you might also be looking at other women's oval acetate frames in a similar price range. Here's how the SH898 compares to three popular alternatives in our collection.
Scott Harris SH898 vs. Kate Spade LUELLA
Both frames offer oval acetate construction with feminine styling, but they take different approaches. The Kate Spade LUELLA brings established designer brand recognition and starts at a lower price point ($59-$137), making it attractive if you want a name-brand frame with sale pricing. However, the Scott Harris SH898 delivers a cleaner, more minimalist aesthetic with its signature no-frills design philosophy and fresh color combinations. If you prefer understated sophistication over logo-driven branding, the SH898's independent spirit and translucent acetate with contrasting temples offer a more contemporary, refined look.
Scott Harris SH898 vs. Lilly Pulitzer LIVIE
The Lilly Pulitzer LIVIE ($118.46) shares the oval acetate construction and vibrant color approach, but with a distinctly preppy, resort-lifestyle aesthetic. While both frames embrace color, the SH898's Sand/Teal, Aqua/Smoke, and Denim/Ice Pink combinations are more subtle and versatile than Lilly Pulitzer's signature bold patterns. The SH898's 3-barrel spring hinges also provide enhanced flexibility and comfort. Choose the LIVIE if you love Lilly's unmistakable preppy branding; choose the SH898 if you want fresh color with clean lines and less overt branding.
Scott Harris SH898 vs. Vera Wang V374
At nearly identical price points ($224.85 vs. $120), these frames represent different design philosophies. Vera Wang brings luxury bridal and fashion heritage with traditional elegance, while Scott Harris emphasizes independent, contemporary minimalism. The SH898's translucent acetate fronts with tortoiseshell temple tips create visual interest through material contrast rather than embellishment. If you're drawn to established luxury brand prestige, the Vera Wang V374 delivers that cachet. If you value fresh, timely styling that fits your personality naturally without heavy branding, the Scott Harris SH898 is the stronger choice.
Our recommendation: The Scott Harris SH898 stands out for customers who appreciate independent design, clean aesthetics, and fresh color combinations. The 3-barrel spring hinges, quality acetate construction, and minimalist approach make these frames ideal if you want eyewear that feels modern and personal rather than logo-driven. At $224.85, you're investing in American-made quality from Europa Eyewear's Chicago facility with a one-year manufacturer's warranty.
