Kate Spade LAUREL vs Similar Rectangle Frames
If you're drawn to the Kate Spade LAUREL's rectangle shape and playful details, you might also be considering other frames in the collection. Here's how the LAUREL compares to three similar options in our catalog.
LAUREL vs Brylie: Mixed Materials vs Pure Acetate
The Kate Spade Brylie ($50-$137.28) is the closest pure-acetate alternative to the LAUREL. Both frames share the same rectangle shape that flatters round and oval faces, and both are prescription-ready with multiple size options. The key difference is in the temple construction: the LAUREL features a distinctive acetate-and-metal combination with a textured metal band, while the Brylie uses all-acetate construction throughout.
Choose the LAUREL if you want more visual interest and the durability of metal temple accents. The two-tone construction gives the LAUREL a slightly more sophisticated look that transitions well from work to evening. The Brylie is the better choice if you prefer the uniform feel of all-acetate frames or have metal sensitivities. Both frames are in the same price range, so your decision comes down to aesthetic preference and material priorities.
LAUREL vs Laurianne: Sister Styles
The Kate Spade Laurianne ($58-$161.75) shares a similar name with the LAUREL, suggesting they may be from the same design collection. Both start at nearly identical prices ($57-58), making them easy to compare budget-wise. The Laurianne's higher maximum price suggests it may offer additional color options or size variations.
If you're choosing between these two, consider trying both to see which proportions suit your face better. The similar naming and price points suggest comparable quality and design philosophy, so your choice will likely come down to fit and which specific color options appeal to you most.
LAUREL vs HAZEN: Textured Metal vs Floral Filigree
The Kate Spade HAZEN ($58-$106.57) is perhaps the most interesting comparison, as it offers a different approach to decorative temple details. While the LAUREL features a textured metal band on acetate-and-metal temples, the HAZEN showcases Kate Spade's signature floral-inspired filigree band on pure acetate construction. Both frames include the cheerful "SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU" inscription inside the temple.
The HAZEN offers eight color combinations compared to the LAUREL's three, giving you more variety if you want options. However, the LAUREL's mixed-material construction may provide better long-term durability, especially at the hinge points. Choose the HAZEN if you love the romantic filigree detail and want maximum color selection. Choose the LAUREL if you prefer the modern look of mixed materials and the structural benefits of metal temple reinforcement.
Our recommendation: The LAUREL stands out for its acetate-and-metal construction, which combines the best of both materials—acetate's color richness and comfort with metal's durability and refined look. The textured temple band is distinctive without being flashy, making these frames versatile enough for professional settings while still feeling unmistakably Kate Spade. If you want a rectangle frame that balances sophistication with personality, the LAUREL delivers.
