Tortoise+Black In The Press – February 2021 Update

Everyone’s talking about Tortoise+Black! In recent months we’ve been featured in some major publications, with some of our best-selling optical frames enjoying the spotlight in a range of style guides.

We appeared in RED magazine’s Winter Style Stars feature in their January 2021 issue. RED‘s Fashion Director Oonagh Brennan shared some of her style favourites, including a certain Ray-Ban frame which has been turning eyes this season:

“I took a tip from the experts at Tortoise+Black, my go-to online service for prescription frames, to try something new.”

Ray-Ban RB3138 Shooter Glasses - Gold

Marc Jacobs 326/S Glasses - Gold

Tom Ford FT5666-B Glasses - Transpsarent Nude & Gold

Aviator optical styles are all the rage this season, so we recommended the popular RB3138 Shooter by Ray-Ban as a great choice for Oonagh.

“I chose clear blush frames in an aviator style, inspired by those worn by activist Gloria Steinem in the 1970s”.

The eagle-eyed among you may have spotted Rose Byrne’s recent portrayal of Steinem in historical drama The Glorias, which has shot this iconic frame back into stardom! Oonagh also recommended the aviator-inspired FT5666-B design by Tom Ford, whose blend of rose gold and transparent acetate leave a lasting impression:

“They add a retro edge, cast a rosy glow on my winter skin and make a subtle style statement.”

One of our frames was also recently spotted in Prima‘s January 2021 issue. Their Bright Ideas feature gave plenty of ideas for adding positivity to your wardrobe as we enter 2021. The Marc Jacobs 326/S eyeglass frame was seen in a sporty-yet-relaxed look.
