The Tortoise

The Tortoise is a magnetic top frame in the classic tortoise shell pattern that's been popular since the 1950s.

This top snaps onto your Pair base frames to give you that timeless, slightly preppy look.

Unlike buying actual tortoise shell frames, you can swap this top on and off whenever you want. At $25-30, it's one of the more affordable ways to have multiple frame styles without having too many pairs of glasses.

"As a person who does not wear a lot of brown, I waited a long time to get these frames. But it turns out that the tortoise frames are a GREAT neutral frame that look a little trendier than just regular clear frames!"
