Description
Piper Purple | Prescription Glasses
A softer take on the everyday glasses. The Piper Purple is the cat-eye in a translucent purple acetate — gentle, wearable, and quietly different. Oversized, made to your prescription, and finished in a colour that adds something to your outfit without shouting about it. Proof that you don't have to go bold to stand out.
Designed in New Zealand. Built to last. Worn by women who like their accessories considered, not loud.
Why you'll love the Piper Purple prescription glasses:
- Oversized cat-eye silhouette, flattering on almost every face shape, with a timeless retro-modern edge
- Prescription lenses made to your script, so the frame you love finally sees the way you need it to
- Lightweight, comfortable lenses designed to be worn all day, every day
- Premium translucent purple acetate frames, a plant-based material derived from tree pulp and cotton, with a soft, light-catching finish
- A subtle alternative to black that still goes with everything
- Designed in New Zealand by a small, women-led team
An everyday alternative to black
Black frames are easy, but they're also everywhere. The Piper Purple gives you the same wear-with-anything ease, just with a bit more interest. The translucent purple acetate lets light through, so the colour shifts subtly depending on what you're wearing and where you're standing — never flat, never loud. The oversized cat-eye shape keeps it grown-up and flattering. Perfect for anyone who wants their daily glasses to feel a little less default.
Sizing and fit
The Piper Purple prescription is our standard-size cat-eye. If you love the cat-eye look but want a different colour, the Piper family also comes in Tort, Black, and Shimmer.
