Tom Ford Joanna FT1039 vs. Similar Butterfly Sunglasses
If you're drawn to the Tom Ford Joanna FT1039's butterfly shape, you may also be considering other frames in the brand's women's collection. Here's how the Joanna compares to two popular alternatives in our catalog.
Joanna FT1039 vs. Colette FT0250
The Tom Ford Colette FT0250 is the brand's classic butterfly frame and a natural comparison point. The key difference lies in construction: the Colette features an all-metal frame (63-12-135mm sizing), while the Joanna combines acetate and metal (59-15-140mm). The Colette's metal construction makes it lighter and gives it a more vintage, delicate aesthetic. The Joanna's acetate front feels more substantial and modern, with a square-butterfly shape that's bolder and more contemporary.
Price-wise, the Colette is more accessible at $186.67–$238.15, compared to the Joanna's $335.08–$376.62 range. If you prefer a classic, refined butterfly look and want to save some money, the Colette is an excellent choice. But if you're after a statement-making, modern frame with the durability of acetate and a wider bridge for comfort, the Joanna is worth the investment.
Joanna FT1039 vs. Penelope FT0320
The Tom Ford Penelope FT0320 sits in a similar price range ($294.92–$335.08) and is another oversized women's frame from Tom Ford's contemporary collection. While the Penelope offers its own distinctive shape and style, the Joanna's butterfly silhouette is more universally flattering on round, oval, and heart-shaped faces. The Joanna also offers more colorway variety with seven options, giving you greater flexibility to match your wardrobe.
Why Choose the Joanna FT1039?
The Joanna FT1039 stands out for its modern square-butterfly shape, mixed acetate-and-metal construction, and generous sizing that accommodates prescription lenses beautifully. It's the best choice if you want a contemporary, bold butterfly frame that balances luxury with everyday wearability. The oversized 'T' logo and Italian craftsmanship make it instantly recognizable as Tom Ford, while the seven colorways ensure you'll find a finish that suits your personal style.
