Caravelli 213

Caravelli 213 Prescription Glasses

If you want glasses that look smart and get out of the way, a rectangle is hard to beat. The Caravelli 213 is a men’s full-rim metal rectangular frame in Black/Red, Blue or Gunmetal. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It belongs to the Caravelli collection.

Which colour is you?

Black/Red. Black/Red pairs black with red. It is the safest choice if you only want one pair, and it never looks out of place.

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

Gunmetal. Gunmetal is a dark, smoky grey metal. It is a great match for cooler skin tones and a crisp, tidy look.

If you are stuck between two, choose the one closest to the colours you wear most. You can always add a second pair later.

About the Caravelli 213 design

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition. Being semi-rimless, it keeps a defined top line while the lower half of the lens stays open and light.

The slim metal construction keeps it light and neat, and it is easy for an optician to adjust.

The Caravelli 213 is a great everyday frame: smart enough for work and relaxed enough for the weekend.

Styling tips

Short hair and a clean shave make the frame shape stand out; with longer hair or a beard it reads as more relaxed.

Size and fit

The 52mm lenses make this a medium frame that suits most faces.

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 Caravelli 213

Choose the lens type that suits how you use your glasses:

• 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.

If your prescription is high, a high-index lens keeps things thin. An anti-reflective, scratch-resistant coating is a sensible extra for everyday wear.

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.

How your glasses are made

Every pair is made to order in our own UK lab. Your lenses are cut to your prescription, fitted into your Caravelli 213 and checked by our technicians before they are sent out.

Keep them looking new

Clean your lenses with a microfibre cloth rather than your jumper, keep them in their case when they are in your bag, and do not leave them on a sunny car dashboard. Our lens care guide has more tips.

Questions we often get

What does semi-rimless mean?

The frame runs along the top of the lenses only. The lower edge is held by a fine line, so the bottom of the lens is open.

Is the Caravelli 213 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.

Where are my lenses made?

In our UK optical lab. They are cut to your prescription, fitted into your frame and checked before they are sent out.
