New premium styles in the OWP Collection for Women

OWP styles 1751 and 1752 feature a bevelled full-rim frame and nylor front made of block titanium.

They’ve also applied the faceting concept to the titanium temples. The result: a feminine and elegant look thanks to softly curved lines, velvety matt surfaces and exquisitely matched colour combinations.

The various facets offer a host of options combining matt and shiny surfaces or different colour tones, such as mocha and bronze or poppy red with blue. Nylor style 1752 also comes in gold. www.rlanctot.com
