?Asian fit eye wear

TC Charton is an eyeglass brand for Asian women, designed by Alexandra Peng.

On Valentine’s day, at Style 360, their presentation and event were held.

As you can see in the photo, I wore one of their glasses, and it really fit me. I always wear contact lenses because usual glasses hurt my nose and ear. It sometimes causes headaches.
However these glasses did not hurt me and also they really suit me 😉

If you have problems with your glasses like me, I strongly recommend you use this brand.

About Alexandra Peng
Alexandra Peng spent more than 16 years in the optical industry, designing eyewear for luxury brands and seeing them from conception to production, before finally starting her own Asian Fit Eyewear line, TC Charton.

TC Charton is the first eyewear line designed in North America specifically with Asians in mind, producing both ophthalmic frames and sunglasses. As an Asian American herself, Alexandra always had difficulty finding eyewear that actually fit her face.

”I grew up believing there was something wrong with my face because nothing fit,” said Peng. “But just like you, would never send a petite person to shop at the big and tall store, I realized the glasses were just never made to fit my features.”

What is Asian Fit?
After years of designing eyewear that she herself couldn’t wear, Peng started considering the unique concerns Asians have when choosing eyewear. Specifically, glasses just didn’t fit because of smaller nose bridges, wider facial structures and higher cheekbones; all of the classical features of the Asian face conspire to make eyewear impossible to wear.

In formulating her designs, Peng considered all of these factors, as well as the styles and colors which compliment Asian skin tones. “There is no set formula,” said Peng. “I focus on specific Asian features in my mind and start designing from there.”

The end result is eyewear which sits properly on the face and that stays in place where it should. All materials are of the highest quality from Europe and Japan and some parts have to be molded by hand to get the perfect fit.

“I want to be able to reach out to as many Asian Americans as possible,” said Peng. “I want them to know there’s an eyewear collection designed from the ground up, with them in mind,” said Peng.

Everyday Luxury
TC Charton is sleek, modern and timeless all at once. It’s meant for the consumer who believes that quality and comfort make a better fashion statement than just a label. The idea behind each frame design is based on distinctive American style with careful consideration of the colors and styles that best complement Asian features.

Vision for the Future
Most kids hate when they need glasses; for Peng, it meant more than the unfortunate nickname “Four Eyes.” She also felt the shame of wearing glasses that simply didn’t fit or gave her headaches.?

“When I was a kid, I heard all kinds of things that people didn’t realize were negative,” Peng remembers. “They said I had no nose, that I had a flat face and nothing fits.”

In Spring of 2011, TC Charton launched a kids’ eyewear line, again with the same concept as her adult line, that fit, functionality and feeling good about your appearance, which leads to confidence.
