Readers with Flexible Bows & Ear Grippers - Tortoise

A pair of glasses that slips while someone tends to the crossword puzzle or checks a seed packet is no help at all. We put these tortoise-pattern frames in the WalterDrake catalog because they stay put until they are taken off. The bows flex without snapping when pulled from a sweater pocket.

Flexible tortoise bows

Frames bend instead of snapping when shoved into a deep knitting bag or tucked beside a recliner cushion. They keep their shape through years of use on the nightstand.

Soft rubber grippers

Small rubber covers fit over the ends that wrap behind the ears. They hold the frames steady while he leans over a workshop bench or looks down at a recipe card.

Warm mottled pattern

The classic tortoise finish has dark brown and amber spots that suit both men and women. It looks right on the hall table and looks right at the kitchen counter.

Light on the nose

Heavy plastic leaves marks across the bridge of the nose before the chapter is done. These weigh very little, so someone forgets they are on until bedtime.
