Differentiation Strategy

Differentiation is achieved through unique design details, such as custom-shaped metal hardware instead of the reference product's two dots.

The frame features subtle beveling and sculpting on the edges, creating a more refined and distinct silhouette.

A focus on proprietary, multi-layered acetate colors and reimagined tortoiseshell patterns creates a unique brand identity.

The use of CR-39 lenses is promoted as a key feature, offering better optical clarity than standard polycarbonate.

Success Replication

It retains the successful bold and oversized square shape, providing a familiar and fashionable foundation.

The use of high-quality cellulose acetate provides a similar premium feel, weight, and rich color depth as the reference product.

The product maintains the concept of a substantial, full-rim frame with thick temples, ensuring it is perceived as a statement piece.
