Carlton

This bold, masculine, and easy-to-wear shape pays tribute to the timeless best-sellers created by AO in the 1950s and 1960s. Rich, two-tone acetates modernize the style for the 21st century. Designed with a robust 7-barrel hinge and a subtly contoured front for optimal comfort, this medium-sized frame is ideal for men who value both aesthetics and functionality. The iconic AO spear-point décor adds a discreet, elegant vintage touch. Made in the USA with premium components sourced globally, it is built to last and to stay stylish in all circumstances.
