The Mellume AS107 is a compact acetate frame with a gradient fade from the upper brow to the lower rim. Built for buyers who need smaller-fit frames that do not look like children's sizes—this is a deliberately petite adult silhouette with proportional scaling. The gradient lamination adds visual depth while the compact dimensions open up a market segment that many wholesale catalogs ignore: customers with narrower faces who struggle to find frames that fit.
For Acetate Sunglasses sellers frustrated by the "one size fits most" approach that leaves a segment of their customer base underserved, the AS107 is a dedicated narrow-fit option that fills a real gap.
Product Features
- Compact Acetate Frame — Scaled-down proportions designed for narrow and petite face shapes. Full acetate construction maintains quality perception at every size.
- Gradient Laminated Finish — Darker upper brow fades to a lighter lower edge. The gradient is fused into the acetate, not surface-applied.
- UV400 TAC Lenses — Category 3 tint with full UV protection. Proportionally scaled lens size maintains optical clarity.
- Featherweight Build — Approximately 26g per frame. The lighter weight matches the smaller frame size for balanced wear.
- Narrow-Fit Niche — Specifically designed for customers who find standard 52-54mm lenses too wide. A small Sunglasses option that addresses a real sourcing gap.
- Five-Barrel Hinges — Stainless steel, tested beyond 10,000 cycles.
Craftsmanship
Design Inspiration: The AS107 addresses a persistent sourcing gap: quality acetate frames in genuinely compact proportions. Most factories scale their designs to a "universal" 52-54mm lens width, leaving petite-faced customers to choose between oversized fashion statements and children's frames. The AS107 fills the middle ground with a properly proportioned narrow-fit frame that does not compromise on material or finish quality.
Frame Dimensions: Lens Width: 48mm | Bridge Width: 19mm | Temple Length: 140mm | Frame Width: 132mm | Weight: ~26g. The 48mm lens width is intentionally narrower than the standard 52-54mm range. These dimensions suit customers with narrower face widths and higher nose bridges.
Gradient Lamination: Two acetate tones are thermally fused with a graduated transition zone. The darker upper section adds brow definition; the lighter lower section keeps the frame from looking heavy on smaller facial proportions.
Nose Pad Design: Integrated acetate nose pads are scaled proportionally to the smaller frame. The pad angle accommodates higher nose bridges commonly found on narrower face shapes.
Hinge Design: Recessed five-barrel stainless steel hinges. Tension calibrated for the lighter frame weight.
Temple Style: Shorter acetate temples (140mm) proportionally matched to the smaller frame front. Internal stainless steel wire core maintains shape.
Surface Finish: Six-stage hand polishing through to 3x magnification final inspection.
Application Scenarios
Face Shape Compatibility: The AS107 compact frame works best for: narrow oval faces (proportional scaling), petite heart-shaped faces (darker upper balances forehead without overwhelming), diamond faces (narrow width complements defined cheekbones). Not suitable for medium to wide face shapes where the 48mm lens will appear undersized.
Target Wholesale Buyer Profiles:
- Boutiques serving Asian and petite-fit markets — The narrower dimensions and higher nose bridge accommodation address facial proportions common in Asian and smaller-framed customers.
- Online retailers tired of returns from "too big" complaints — A dedicated narrow-fit option reduces the return rate from customers who find standard frames overwhelming.
- Optical shops offering frame-fitting services — Add a compact option to your fitting toolkit. Customers with narrow face widths will appreciate having a choice beyond "maybe try the children's section."
- Multi-size fashion brands — Offer the same gradient acetate quality in small, medium, and large fits. The AS107 is the small-fit option in a planned sizing range.
- Travel and portable accessories retailers — The compact frame packs smaller and weighs less for travel-focused product lines.

What We Solve for Your Business:
- My customers with smaller faces keep returning frames because everything is too wide. The AS107 is built on a 48mm lens width and 132mm frame width. It fits faces that standard 52-54mm frames overwhelm.
- I want to offer a petite-fit line but developing a new size from scratch is too expensive. Ready-to-ship AS107 stock is available now. No mold development, no custom sizing fees.
- Smaller frames from other suppliers look like children's glasses—cheap and undersized. The AS107 uses the same full acetate construction and six-stage polishing as our standard frames. It is a scaled-down adult frame, not an oversized kids' frame.
- I need consistent sizing across reorders—last time the "small" frames arrived 2mm wider. CNC routing produces identical dimensions batch after batch. Your 48mm lens stays 48mm on every reorder.
- Custom gradient colors for petite frames seem impossible to find. We can develop custom gradient acetate laminations for the AS107. Contact us with your target colors.
FAQ
Q: What face width does the AS107 fit best?
A: The 132mm frame width and 48mm lens width suit face widths approximately 125-135mm. This is narrower than the standard 135-145mm range most frames target.
Q: Is this frame designed for women only?
A: The AS107 is unisex. It fits anyone with a narrow to petite face proportion—regardless of gender. The design language is deliberately neutral.
Q: Can I get the AS107 in a standard 52mm size as well?
A: The AS107 is designed as a narrow-fit model. For a similar style in standard sizing, consider our other gradient acetate options. Contact us for recommendations.
Q: Does the gradient effect work on a smaller frame, or does it look compressed?
A: The gradient transition zone is scaled proportionally to the smaller frame size. It reads as a deliberate design choice, not a compressed version of a larger gradient.
