Kate Spade SCARLETTA vs. Similar Cat-Eye Frames
If you're drawn to the SCARLETTA's cat-eye silhouette, you might also be considering other Kate Spade options. Here's how the SCARLETTA compares to two popular alternatives in our collection.
SCARLETTA vs. Vandra: Metal Cat-Eye Showdown
Both the SCARLETTA and the Kate Spade Vandra feature cat-eye shapes in stainless steel with full-rim construction and adjustable silicone nose pads. The key difference lies in the details. The SCARLETTA offers three color options with distinctive patterned temples—floral prints, tortoise accents, and botanical designs—that add playful personality. The Vandra provides four color choices and may have different temple styling.
Choose the SCARLETTA if you want those eye-catching patterned temples that make a statement. The Vandra might be your pick if you prefer a different color palette or slightly different proportions. Both offer the same lightweight metal comfort and adjustable fit that makes metal frames ideal for all-day wear.
SCARLETTA vs. Kamila: Metal or Acetate?
The Kate Spade Kamila is one of the brand's most popular cat-eye frames, but it's made from acetate plastic rather than metal. This material choice creates a different wearing experience. Acetate frames like the Kamila offer bolder, richer colors and patterns throughout the entire frame, and they feel more substantial on the face. However, they're heavier than metal and lack adjustable nose pads.
The SCARLETTA's metal construction makes it noticeably lighter—a real advantage if you wear glasses all day or have a sensitive nose bridge. The adjustable silicone nose pads let you (or your optician) customize the fit precisely, preventing slipping and pressure points. If you prioritize lightweight comfort and a customizable fit, the SCARLETTA is the better choice. If you love the look and feel of acetate and want maximum color saturation, explore the Kamila.
All three frames are prescription-ready and compatible with progressive, bifocal, and single-vision lenses, so your decision comes down to style preference, material feel, and fit priorities.
