Description
BARNER
The only cat-eye in the range – the Astoria lifts the face and turns every summer afternoon into a look.
The Astoria is the Barner model that makes its intentions clear the moment you put it on. The upswept outer corners create an immediate lifting effect – the face opens up, the gaze rises, the whole bearing changes. At 134 × 44 mm, the Astoria is the most compact frame in the Barner range, yet it carries a 54 mm lens that gives it an unexpectedly generous visual presence. Glossy TR-90 frame, polarised 7-layer TAC lenses, Category 3, UV400. Available in Black, Crystal Mauve and Havana.
The gift with the strongest personality in the range
Cat-eye is not a neutral choice. It’s a commitment to a silhouette with history – from 1950s Hollywood to the Milan runways to the Barcelona design scene. The Astoria carries this with a lightness that keeps it from feeling costume-like: at 25g and with the supple give of TR-90, it sits easily on the face and doesn’t perform. Crystal Mauve is the stand-out: a translucent, mauve-tinted frame that reads lavender violet in direct sunlight and shifts toward warm grey in shade. It’s the most photographed, most unexpected option in the Barner range – and arguably the most giftable pair across the entire collection. Havana is the warm, timeless choice for anyone who loves tortoiseshell but doesn’t need to explain why. Black is the frame you always reach for. As a gift, the Astoria in Crystal Mauve is a reliable surprise for a birthday, a summer trip, or any occasion that deserves something with a point of view.
Why TR-90 works for this frame
TR-90 is a thermoplastic polyamide with memory-flex properties – the technical way of saying: it bends without snapping and springs back into shape. For a cat-eye frame with its distinctive swept geometry, this matters more than for simple rectangular frames: the shape has to stay true through everyday use. At around 25g total, the Astoria is light enough to wear for hours. It’s fully hypoallergenic – no nickel, no acetate plasticisers – which makes it comfortable for people with sensitive skin. The glossy finish is not incidental: a cat-eye in gloss reads differently than in matte, picking up the curved geometry in light and giving the frame a slightly more formal, polished character.
How polarised lenses change the picture
Standard sunglasses darken the world. Polarised lenses do something more precise: they block the horizontal light that bounces off wet roads, rivers, car bonnets and glass facades – the glare that makes eyes water and squint even through dark lenses. The result is an image that’s sharper, not just darker. The TAC lenses in the Astoria are built in 7 layers, with a polarisation filter that eliminates 82% of light intensity (Category 3: 8–18% transmittance). UV400 protection covers all UVA and UVB radiation. Approved and suitable for driving.

Frequently asked questions
Which face shapes suit a cat-eye frame?
Cat-eye frames are particularly flattering on round, square and heart-shaped faces. The upswept outer edge lifts the cheekbones optically and adds width to rounder face shapes. Very narrow or long faces are sometimes better served by a wider or more horizontal frame. The Astoria at 134 mm is a compact cat-eye interpretation that suits a broader range of face widths than more overtly dramatic cat-eye formats.
What exactly is Crystal Mauve – is it purple or grey?
Crystal Mauve is a translucent, mauve-tinted frame that changes character with the light: in direct sun it reads as lavender-violet; in shade or indoors it shifts toward a warm grey. It’s one of the most unusual colour options in the Barner range – neither a standard neutral nor a full colour statement – which makes it a strong choice for someone who wants something distinctive without committing to a bright colour.
Can I buy the Astoria as a gift without worrying about fit?
The Astoria comes in a single size. No sizing decision is needed – only colour. The compact 134 mm frame width fits most face sizes. The 15 mm bridge suits narrow to medium nose profiles best. For very wide nose profiles or faces that need a wider bridge, the Andy (25 mm bridge) is a better fit.
Does a tree really get planted with every purchase?
Yes. Barner plants one tree per pair sold through their Barner Forest initiative. It doesn’t change how the glasses perform, but it means a purchase that feels good in more than one way.
