Du Maurier

Du Maurier Prescription Glasses

If you want glasses that look smart and get out of the way, a rectangle is hard to beat. The Du Maurier is a men’s full-rim rectangular frame, sized 50-16-135, in Blue, Brown or Pink. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our Walter & Herbert range.

Which colour is you?

Blue. The Blue version is patterned blue. It looks great with blue or grey eyes and pairs easily with denim and white.

Brown. The Brown version is patterned brown. It warms up the face and sits nicely alongside camel, olive and cream.

Pink. The Pink version is patterned pink. It is soft and pretty, and it suits fair and cool skin tones.

Each colour is shown in the gallery, so you can compare them side by side before you decide.

Shape and style

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition. A patterned front adds personality while still being easy to wear.

The Du Maurier is a great everyday frame: smart enough for work and relaxed enough for the weekend. The Du Maurier also makes a handy spare pair for the car or the office.

Wearing it every day

It looks sharp with a collared shirt and works just as well with a T-shirt. If you have a beard, a slightly bolder frame balances the face nicely.

Size and fit

At 50mm per lens, it is on the smaller side, which is ideal if most frames feel too wide. The 16mm bridge is on the narrow side. The 135mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 116mm.

Not sure about sizing? Compare these numbers with the ones on the inside arm of a pair that fits you well. A difference of two or three millimetres or less usually means a similar fit.

Lens options for the Du Maurier

Pick the lenses that match your prescription:

• Single vision: one prescription across the whole lens, for distance, reading or the computer.
• Varifocal: near, intermediate and distance in one lens, with no visible line.
• Bifocal: a separate reading segment in the lower part of the lens.
• Ready readers: simple magnification if you just need help with close work.

Want lighter lenses? A high-index lens is thinner than standard plastic. Pair it with an anti-reflective coating for less glare when you drive after dark.

Before you order

Make sure your prescription is in date; most adults in the UK are advised to have an eye test every two years, and your optician will tell you if you need one sooner. You will also need your PD, which tells our lab where to centre the lenses. With those two things ready, ordering takes a few minutes: choose your colour, pick your lenses, enter your details and you are done.

From our lab to you

Your Du Maurier is glazed in our UK-based lab. Once you have chosen your lenses and entered your prescription, we cut and fit the lenses and check the finished glasses before they go out.

Looking after them

Use lens spray and a soft cloth, fold the arms before putting your glasses down, and store them in a hard case. Our guide to looking after your lenses covers the rest.

Questions we often get

Is it a small frame?

Yes. With 50mm lenses it suits smaller faces.

Is the Du Maurier comfortable for all-day wear?

Yes. It is a lightweight frame, and a thinner lens for a stronger prescription keeps the weight down even further.

Will it suit a narrow nose?

Yes. The 16mm bridge is designed for slimmer noses.

Do you make the lenses yourselves?

Yes. Every pair is made to order in our UK optical lab, where your lenses are cut to your prescription and fitted into your frame.
