Description
Piper Shimmer | Prescription Glasses
Why settle for plain when you can have a little sparkle? The Piper Shimmer is the cat-eye with a wink. Oversized, made to your prescription, and finished in a glitter acetate that catches the light just right. Proof that everyday glasses don't have to be boring.
Designed in New Zealand. Built to last. Worn by women who like their accessories with a bit of extra.
Why you'll love the Piper Shimmer 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 glitter acetate frames, a plant-based material derived from tree pulp and cotton, with an embedded shimmer finish
- Subtle sparkle that catches the light without feeling novelty
- Designed in New Zealand by a small, women-led team
Glitter glasses, done properly
Most glitter frames feel novelty. The Piper Shimmer isn't most glasses. The shimmer is embedded in the acetate itself, not a coating or a print, which means it lasts and it reads as premium rather than plastic. The oversized cat-eye shape grounds the sparkle in something grown-up and wearable, so you can bring a little shine to everyday outfits without feeling dressed up. Perfect for anyone who thinks accessories should have a bit of personality.
Sizing and fit
The Piper Shimmer prescription is our regular-size cat-eye. If you love the cat-eye look but want a different colour, the Piper family also comes in Tort, Black, and Purple.
