Portrait Eyewear COCTEAU - Gold Tortoise

Surrealist Rectangular Geometry in Glossy Titanium

The Cocteau is defined by its contemporary rectangular silhouette that balances sharp, architectural lines with fluid, curvy detailing. In the Gold Tortoise colorway, the frame utilizes a high-contrast pairing of polished gold-toned metal and rich, organic tortoise-shell patterns, creating a look that is both vintage-inspired and undeniably futuristic.

Technical Craftsmanship & Material Details

• High-Grade Titanium Construction: The core structure is handcrafted in Italy from sleek titanium, providing an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. This ensures the frame is ultra-lightweight and hypoallergenic while maintaining extreme structural durability.

• Premium Italian Acetate Accents: The "Gold Tortoise" effect is achieved through the integration of top-quality cellulose acetate inserts. These are meticulously beveled and hand-polished to a high-gloss finish to enhance the depth of the amber and chocolate tones.

• Complex Milling Techniques: A hallmark of Portrait's technical identity is the fine milling above the nose bridge and on the temples. This creates a textured, multi-dimensional profile that distinguishes the frame from standard flat-metal designs.

• Logo-Free Aesthetic: True to the brand's minimalist-contemporary philosophy, there are no visible external logos. The identity is communicated entirely through its unique shape and the craftsmanship of its joinery.

Fit & Ergonomics

• Balanced Frame Architecture: Despite its bold 144mm total width, the use of titanium ensures the frame does not feel front-heavy. The weight is distributed evenly across the temples to prevent pressure points.

• Integrated Bridge Design: Features a 23mm bridge that utilizes the natural strength of titanium to maintain a stable, secure fit. This wider bridge width provides ample "lift" for a variety of facial profiles.

• Sustainable Hand-Finishing: Each piece undergoes an environmentally friendly preparation process in Italy, where artisans combine traditional bench-work with cutting-edge technology to ensure the fit is consistent and comfortable for long-term wear.

Expert Note

Expert Note: The Cocteau is an ideal choice for those with round or oval face shapes seeking to add structure and definition. While the 47mm lens width suggests a smaller fit, the wide 23mm bridge and extended end-pieces allow it to accommodate medium-to-wide faces comfortably. Its design specifically favors High-Index and Progressive lenses, as the sturdy titanium rims provide a secure housing for complex prescriptions.
