Fit & sizing tips (petite to medium)

Most Cerruti 1881 optical frames on this page skew compact, with lens widths commonly in the 46–50 mm range, making them a natural match for narrow to average faces. If you prefer a roomier feel, look for bridge widths at 18–21 mm and temples at 135–140 mm for balanced weight.

Eyeglasses arrive with demo lenses (non-prescription) your optician can replace easily, while any sunglasses from the line feature branded sun lenses for instant glare control. Keep an eye on product notes like “Vintage” and “Full-rim” to anticipate stiffness and front weight.

Materials & care for daily wear

Metal styles offer a crisp, minimalist profile; acetate brings a warmer, touchable smoothness. For day-to-day upkeep, rinse with lukewarm water, pat dry, and store in the included case.

FAQ

Are these Cerruti 1881 frames authentic?

Yes. We source from manufacturers and authorized distributors to ensure authenticity and condition. Each frame ships new, typically with a branded or generic case as listed on the product page. If you have questions about a specific SKU, contact our support and we’ll check the exact item details for you.

Do the glasses arrive with lenses installed?

Optical frames arrive with non-prescription demo lenses so your optician can fit your Rx. If you’re shopping sunglasses from the brand, they come with branded sun lenses for UV comfort. We don’t supply prescription lenses online, but any local optician can complete the setup after purchase.

What face shapes work best with these styles?

Compact oval and classic full-rim profiles suit many narrow to average faces. If you’re unsure, measure a pair that already fits you and compare lens, bridge, and temple numbers on each product page. For visual cues and fast picks, use our in-house guide to shapes before adding to cart.

Do you stock Cerruti 1881 sunglasses too?

The brand covers both optical and sun lines. Our current assortment here centers on eyeglasses, and sunglasses availability changes. If you’re browsing sunwear now, explore our polarized collection for glare control, and check back later for Cerruti sun styles as inventory updates.

How do these frames fit compared to standard sizes?

Many listings fall in the petite-to-medium range (lens widths around 46–50 mm). If you prefer a roomier feel, look for bridges near 18–21 mm and temples around 135–140 mm. When in doubt, match numbers from a pair you already love for a familiar fit right out of the box.

What are the shipping and return terms?

We offer Free US shipping on most orders and 30-day returns for items in new condition with all accessories. Original shipping fees (if any) are non-refundable, and return postage is the buyer’s responsibility. For specifics or help starting a return, see our policy page or message support.
