Vera Bradley VBTATESUNCLIP vs VBHAVENSUNCLIP: Choosing Your Magnetic Clip-On
Both the VBTATESUNCLIP and VBHAVENSUNCLIP are part of Vera Bradley's innovative Magnetic Sun Clip Collection, manufactured by McGee Group. They share the same core technology—embedded neodymium magnets for secure, instant attachment—and the same affordable price of $41.21. The key difference lies in which optical frame they're designed to fit.
The VBTATESUNCLIP is engineered specifically for the Vera Bradley Tate optical frame, which features a classic rectangle shape. Rectangle frames are particularly flattering for those with rounded facial features, as they add definition and balance. The Tate's full-rim construction provides a traditional, versatile look that works in professional and casual settings. If you prefer a timeless, structured aesthetic, the Tate frame with its matching clip-on is the better choice.
The VBHAVENSUNCLIP pairs with the Haven optical frame, which offers a different silhouette within the collection. According to McGee Group, the Magnetic Sun Clip Collection includes "classic rounded rectangles, slightly oversized squares, or semi-rimless rounds," giving customers options based on their style preferences and face shape.
Both clip-ons are available in Vera Bradley's signature patterns—including Tortoise, Paradise Coral, and Harbor Paisley—so you can coordinate your eyewear with your favorite Vera Bradley accessories. Each provides UV protection and the same magnetic convenience that eliminates the need for separate prescription sunglasses.
Our recommendation: Choose based on which optical frame shape suits your face and style. The VBTATESUNCLIP with the Tate rectangle frame is ideal for those who want a classic, professional look with the versatility to balance round or oval faces. Visit our Vera Bradley collection to explore both options and find your perfect match.
