The Original Penguin THE CHARLTON Eyeglasses bring mid-century style into your everyday wardrobe with a classic oval shape that works across face shapes and personal styles. Built from durable acetate with a full-rim design, these prescription-ready frames blend retro inspiration with practical, all-day comfort.
The CHARLTON’s oval lens shape is one of the most universally flattering styles in eyewear. The gently rounded silhouette softens angular features while adding structure to rounder faces. With a 48mm lens width and 19mm bridge, these frames offer a small to medium fit that sits comfortably without sliding or pinching. The compact lens size is particularly well-suited for higher prescriptions, where minimizing edge thickness matters.
Acetate construction means these frames are hypoallergenic, lightweight, and more durable than standard injection-molded plastic. The material allows for rich, lasting color depth—whether you choose the gradient olive shown here, classic black, navy, or tortoise. The skull temples curve inward gently and feature metal cores wrapped in acetate, preventing slippage during active wear. Spring hinges with signature stud detailing maintain balance and ensure a comfortable fit throughout the day.
These frames accept single-vision, progressive, and bifocal prescription lenses. You can add anti-reflective coatings, blue light filtering, or transition lenses to customize your eyewear for your lifestyle. The full-rim design provides maximum lens security and durability.
Original Penguin has been blending American heritage style with modern design since the 1950s. The CHARLTON continues that tradition with clean lines, quality materials, and a laid-back confidence that never goes out of style. The 145mm temples provide balanced support, and the frame comes with a protective case and cleaning cloth.
