Compare the iconic Piaf and the elegant Savior cat-eye glasses from Valley Eyewear. Learn which frame suits your face shape and style best.
Quick answer
Choose the Piaf if you want a bold, versatile cat-eye with color options and a slightly softer edge; pick the Savior if you prefer a sleek, sculpted black frame with a sharper, more seductive profile.
Why silhouette matters for your face shape
Cat-eye frames can emphasize or soften your natural bone structure. The key difference between the Piaf and Savior lies in their temple and front-face design, which changes how the frame sits on your face.
The Piaf features a bevelled front face and angled temples, creating a bold yet comfortable look that suits a range of face shapes. The Savior, with its sculpted side-pressed details and exclusive black finish, offers a more dramatic, structured silhouette that works best for certain face shapes.
Color and versatility trade-off
The Piaf is available in a range of on-trend colors, giving you flexibility to match your wardrobe or skin tone. The Savior is released exclusively in black, which limits color choice but delivers a consistent, elegant edge that pairs with any outfit.
If you like to switch up your look or need a frame that blends with multiple outfits, the Piaf offers more options. If you prefer a timeless, monochrome statement that always works, the Savior delivers.
Piaf vs Savior: Trade-offs to consider
- Bold vs sleek: The Piaf's bevelled front and angled temples create a bold, slightly softer cat-eye. The Savior's side-pressed details and sculpted acetate produce a sleeker, sharper profile.
- Color flexibility: The Piaf comes in multiple on-trend colors. The Savior is only available in black. If you want to match frames to your wardrobe, the Piaf wins. If you want a consistent, classic black frame, the Savior delivers.
- Comfort and weight: Both frames use premium Japanese acetate, but the Piaf's angled temples may feel more comfortable on wider faces, while the Savior's sculpted sides sit closer to the face for a more snug fit. Try both frames on if possible—the fit difference is subtle but noticeable.
Frame details at a glance
- Piaf: The Piaf is a reissue of our iconic cat-eye silhouette without the Swarovski crystals, featuring a bevelled front-face and angled temples. This design makes the Piaf bold yet comfortable, and the absence of crystals keeps the price lower while offering more color choices.
Piaf - Savior: The Savior is a sculpted cat-eye crafted from premium Japanese acetate with refined side-pressed details, released exclusively in black. The exclusive black finish and sculpted details give the Savior a sleek, sophisticated look that stands out, but limits color variety.
Savior
Which frame should you choose?
Best for
- Those who want a bold, versatile cat-eye with color options to match different outfits or skin tones.
- People with round or oval faces who want a frame that adds angular structure without being too sharp.
Not for
