I’ve always believed that the right pair of glasses can transform not just how you see, but how you’re seen. When I first came across the Kate Spade CHARISSA round glasses at Zenni Optical, I was immediately struck by their timeless appeal. These aren’t just any frames – they represent the perfect marriage of Kate Spade’s signature sophistication and Zenni’s commitment to quality eyewear. With their premium acetate construction and versatile round shape, these glasses have quickly become a favorite among fashion-conscious individuals seeking both style and substance. Whether you’re updating your look or investing in your first designer frames, the CHARISSA model deserves your attention.

Designer Pedigree: Kate Spade CHARISSA Authenticity

The CHARISSA eyeglasses represent the quintessential Kate Spade New York aesthetic, combining sophistication with playful elements that have become hallmarks of the brand. Each frame comes with a verified UPC (716736003924), ensuring you receive genuine designer eyewear rather than imitations that have unfortunately proliferated in the market.

Verification and Packaging

Authenticity extends beyond the frames themselves to include the complete Kate Spade experience. Each pair arrives with the original Kate Spade protective case and branded cleaning cloth, providing both practical care essentials and confirming the product’s legitimacy. These certified authentic frames are available through Zenni Optical’s curated designer collection, which undergoes rigorous verification processes.

The CHARISSA model perfectly balances Kate Spade’s characteristic playful elegance with practical eyewear design considerations, resulting in frames that are both fashionable and functional for everyday wear.

Premium Construction and Materials

The foundation of CHARISSA’s quality lies in its material selection and construction methods. These frames are crafted from premium acetate, a high-grade plastic known for its exceptional durability, lightweight properties, and superior comfort during extended wear periods.

The full-rim construction provides comprehensive protection for the lenses while maintaining structural integrity throughout the frame’s lifespan. This design choice ensures both stability and longevity, particularly important for daily-wear eyewear.

Available in a sophisticated Black and Ivory Tortoiseshell colorway, the frames offer visual depth and texture that elevates their appearance beyond basic eyewear. The small adult sizing, with a total frame width of 122mm, addresses a specific market need for narrower face profiles without compromising on design elements.

The thoughtfully engineered 140mm temples provide the perfect balance between security and comfort, preventing the common issues of pressure points or slippage throughout the day.

Perfect Fit: Sizing and Face Shape Compatibility

These round frames particularly complement square and diamond face shapes, creating a harmonious balance by softening angular features. The proportions have been carefully calculated to suit smaller adult face profiles with the 122mm (4.8 inches) overall width providing appropriate coverage without overwhelming facial features.

The lens dimensions of 50mm width and 42mm height create balanced proportions that work with facial symmetry rather than against it. This sizing avoids the common pitfalls of either too much lens exposure or insufficient coverage that can occur with poorly proportioned frames.

The 18mm bridge width offers comfortable support across the nose, distributing weight evenly to prevent discomfort during extended wear periods. Each measurement in the CHARISSA design serves both aesthetic and functional purposes, resulting in eyewear that maintains security without sacrificing style or comfort.

Prescription Versatility and Lens Options

The technical specifications of the CHARISSA frames accommodate an impressive range of vision correction needs. With prescription compatibility from -14.00 to +10.00, these frames serve wearers with varying degrees of vision correction requirements, from mild to significant.

The frames support both single vision and progressive/bifocal lens options, providing flexibility based on individual vision needs. The pupillary distance (PD) range of 51-67mm ensures proper alignment of the lenses with the wearer’s eyes, a crucial factor for optimal vision correction and comfort.

When ordered through Zenni Optical, wearers can select from premium lens options including various coatings and treatments to enhance visibility and eye protection. This makes the CHARISSA suitable for everyday wear across different environments and lighting conditions.

One limitation to note is that reader lenses are not available for this particular model, making them less suitable for those seeking simple magnification without prescription correction.

Style Statement: The CHARISSA Aesthetic

The CHARISSA frames feature a timeless round shape infused with contemporary design elements that prevent them from appearing dated or overly vintage. This careful balance ensures longevity in both style relevance and physical durability.

The Black and Ivory Tortoiseshell pattern introduces sophisticated visual interest through subtle color variations and depth, elevating them beyond solid-colored alternatives. This versatile colorway transitions seamlessly between professional and casual settings, complementing various wardrobe choices and occasions.

Kate Spade’s branding appears as a refined accent rather than a dominant feature, signaling quality craftsmanship without overwhelming the design. The frames pair exceptionally well with diverse fashion styles and color palettes, from monochromatic business attire to casual weekend ensembles.

For wearers seeking to elevate their appearance without dramatic changes, these frames provide an instant style upgrade that enhances rather than competes with personal fashion choices.
