Chantelle 987 Petite

Chantelle 987 Petite Prescription Glasses

There is something calm and classic about an oval frame. The Chantelle 987 Petite is a unisex full-rim oval frame, sized 48-14-130, in Burgundy, Lilac or Peach. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription.

Choosing your Chantelle 987 Petite colour

Burgundy. Burgundy is a deep wine red. It adds warmth without being too bright, and it suits most skin tones.

Lilac. Lilac is a soft, pale purple. It adds a confident touch of colour and suits fair and cool skin tones.

Peach. Peach keeps things simple. It blends in rather than stands out, which many people find easy to wear every day.

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

Shape and style

Oval lenses balance square and heart-shaped faces and keep the overall look soft. A crystal front looks modern and light, and it goes with everything.

The arms carry a decorative pattern that adds a bit of jewellery to the frame. The fine metal arms keep the weight down and look neat from the side.

The Chantelle 987 Petite is a great everyday frame: smart enough for work and relaxed enough for the weekend.

How to wear it

Keep the rest of your look simple and let the frame do the talking. It works just as well with workwear as it does with weekend clothes.

Frame size and fit

At 48mm per lens, it is on the smaller side, which is ideal if most frames feel too wide. The 14mm bridge is narrow, so it sits securely on a slimmer nose. The 130mm arms are a little shorter than standard. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 110mm.

To check the fit, look at the three numbers printed inside the arm of glasses you already own. If they are within two or three millimetres, this frame should feel similar.

Lens options for the Chantelle 987 Petite

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.

The 30mm lens depth is on the slim side, so single vision or bifocal lenses usually work best. 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.

Made for you in our UK lab

Your Chantelle 987 Petite 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

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.

Your questions, answered

Is the Chantelle 987 Petite suitable for varifocals?

Is it a small frame?

Yes. With 48mm lenses it suits smaller faces.
