A squared frame cut from a single block of honey acetate. Brass hinges. Suited to long faces and reading. Hand-finished in the studio and dimensioned to the wearer at fitting.
Every Mercier is dimensioned to the wearer at the second sitting. The figures here describe the base draft, before fitting.
The first Mercier was cut for a client who, in the studio's notes, always asked something of him. We built the opposite of what he'd worn before.
The result favours the rectangular line the studio keeps returning to: heavier where the eye expects weight, and light everywhere the skin meets the frame. It is cut in honey acetate, 28g finished, and fitted with a 7-barrel brass hinge.
