The Bruce is defined by its squared aviator-inspired silhouette, reinterpreting a classic vintage shape with sharp, contemporary lines. In the Havana Cola colorway, the frame features a rich, translucent tortoiseshell pattern that blends deep ambers and chocolate browns, offering a warmer, organic alternative to the industrial "Crystal" or "Black" versions.
Hybrid Structural Core: The frame utilizes an "endo-skeletal" design where a premium stainless steel and titanium core is embedded within top-quality acetate. This ensures the frame maintains its shape and structural integrity over time.
Premium Italian Acetate: Handcrafted in Italy from high-density cellulose acetate. The Havana Cola finish is hand-polished to a deep luster, highlighting the complex, natural-looking patterns within the material.
Editorial Design Language: Part of Portrait's specialized Editorial series, which focuses on artistic innovation. The frame features sharp pantograph cuts and beveled edges that give the oversized square shape a multi-dimensional, sculptural quality.
Minimalist Identity: True to the brand’s "wearable art" philosophy, there is no external branding or visible logos. The identity is expressed entirely through the unique silhouette and the quality of the Italian joinery.
Commanding Squared Fit: With a 52mm lens width and a total width of 142mm, the Bruce is a substantial frame that provides an "Average to Large" fit, ideal for those seeking a bold, statement-making presence.
Engineered Balance: The use of lightweight titanium inserts helps distribute weight toward the temples. This prevents the larger acetate front from feeling heavy on the bridge and minimizes the risk of the frames sliding down.
Hand-Finished Comfort: Every edge is manually prepared and polished in Italy to ensure that the architectural lines remain tactilely smooth against the skin for all-day comfort.

Expert Note: The Bruce in Havana Cola is a masterclass in balancing retro charm with modern grit. Its 52mm lens width and squared bottom make it an excellent choice for round or oval face shapes as it adds necessary vertical structure. The warm Havana tones make it highly versatile for different skin tones, while the sturdy construction is particularly effective at concealing lens thickness for high-prescription wearers.
