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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"cm-highlight\"\u003eSunglasses · Barner · Barcelona · Astoria · Cat-Eye · TR-90 · polarised · UV400 · Glossy\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp class=\"cm-section-label\"\u003eThe gift with the strongest personality in the range\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"cm-body\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eCat-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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp class=\"cm-section-label\"\u003eWhy TR-90 works for this frame\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"cm-body\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eTR-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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp class=\"cm-section-label\"\u003eHow polarised lenses change the picture\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"cm-body\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eStandard 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp class=\"cm-section-label\"\u003eProduct details\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable class=\"cm-table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eBarner\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eAstoria\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eStyle\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eCat-Eye\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eGlossy\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eFrame\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003e134 × 44 mm, TR-90 Glossy\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eLenses\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003e54 mm, TAC polarised, Category 3, UV400\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eBridge\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003e15 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eTemple length\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003e145 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eColours\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eBlack, Crystal Mauve, Havana\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eIncludes\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eNeoprene case, microfibre cloth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eBarcelona, Spain\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp class=\"cm-section-label\"\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"cm-faq\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"cm-faq-item\"\u003e\u003cp class=\"cm-faq-q\"\u003eWhich face shapes suit a cat-eye frame?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cm-faq-a\"\u003eCat-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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"cm-faq-item\"\u003e\u003cp class=\"cm-faq-q\"\u003eWhat exactly is Crystal Mauve – is it purple or grey?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cm-faq-a\"\u003eCrystal 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"cm-faq-item\"\u003e\u003cp class=\"cm-faq-q\"\u003eCan I buy the Astoria as a gift without worrying about fit?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cm-faq-a\"\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"cm-faq-item\"\u003e\u003cp class=\"cm-faq-q\"\u003eDoes a tree really get planted with every purchase?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cm-faq-a\"\u003eYes.

The upswept outer corners produce a lifting effect on the face. At 134 × 44 mm, the Astoria is the smallest frame in the Barner range, while carrying a 54 mm lens – a wide glass in a compact frame, generating a visually concentrated silhouette.

The Astoria uses a compact interpretation of this geometry: 134 mm frame width is restrained for the category, while the 54 mm lens fills a large proportion of the frame, creating strong glass presence in a small overall frame. The 15 mm bridge places the lenses close together, supporting the horizontal, face-wide impression of the design. Crystal Mauve is the formally most unusual option: a translucent mauve-tinted frame with light-responsive colour behaviour – violet in sun, warm grey in shade. Black delivers the strongest contrast against the upswept geometry. Havana occupies the warm-neutral position.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp class=\"cm-section-label\"\u003eMaterials: TR-90 Glossy and 7-layer TAC\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"cm-body\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Astoria frame is TR-90, a thermoplastic polyamide with memory-flex properties: it deforms under pressure and returns to its original geometry without fracture lines or permanent deformation. Compared to acetate, TR-90 is approximately 40% lighter and fully hypoallergenic – no nickel, no plasticisers. Total frame weight is approximately 25g. The 7-layer TAC lenses include a polarisation filter that eliminates horizontally polarised reflected light from water, roads and glass surfaces. Category 3 (8–18% light transmittance) is approved for all standard daylight conditions including driving. UV400 protection is complete across the full UVA\/UVB spectrum.
