Tarjei – The Soft Cat-Eye That Earns Its Warmth
Some frames carry their character in the silhouette. Others carry it in the color. Tarjei by WEISS OPTIX does both. A soft cat-eye silhouette in hand-polished premium acetate, with earthy gradient tones that deepen at the upper rim and fade to transparency below — it is the frame that lifts the face and warms the look, without announcing either.
Two colorways. A silhouette calibrated for oval and heart-shaped faces. Vintage charm, worn with modern ease.
Soft Cat-Eye Rectangle: The Upswept Line That Flatters
Tarjei’s silhouette sits between a classic cat-eye and a rounded rectangle — the outer corners carry a gentle upward sweep that lifts the eye area and adds definition, while the overall arc remains soft and approachable. The result is a shape that reads as feminine and considered without the full drama of a sharp cat-eye.
The upswept corners are particularly effective for oval and heart-shaped faces. For oval faces, the silhouette adds a quiet lift that enhances the face’s natural balance. For heart-shaped faces, the upward line at the outer corners mirrors the face’s own wider upper geometry, creating a natural harmony. For round faces, the gentle angularity adds definition without severity. For longer faces, the generous horizontal breadth of the frame adds width and reduces perceived length.
The genderless design means Tarjei adapts to the wearer rather than prescribing a look. It is the frame that works across contexts and face shapes without adjustment.
Hand-Polished Premium Acetate: Gradient Depth in Earthy Tones
Tarjei is constructed from hand-polished premium acetate — a material that carries the gradient effect with a depth and luminosity that injected plastic cannot replicate. The hand-polishing process brings the surface to a smooth, precise finish that catches light differently at different angles: richer and more layered in direct light, quieter and more unified in softer conditions.
The gradient is inherent to the acetate itself — the color deepens at the upper rim and fades toward transparency at the lower, creating a visual lightness that counterbalances the frame’s generous proportions. The construction is light enough for all-day wear without pressure or fatigue.
Two Colorways: Earthy Warmth, Quietly Expressive
Tarjei’s palette is built around earthy gradient tones — two colorways that shift in warmth and depth as the light changes.
- Light Tortoiseshell — a warm, layered tortoiseshell pattern in amber, orange, and deep brown that fades to transparent champagne at the lower rim. The gradient amplifies the vintage character of the cat-eye silhouette, creating a combination that reads as warm and considered in any light. The colorway with the most historical resonance and the broadest wardrobe compatibility.
- Caramel Brown — a deep, layered gradient that moves from dark black-green at the upper rim to a transparent olive-green below. Earthy and quietly distinctive — the colorway for those who want their eyewear to signal something considered without spelling it out. Particularly effective in natural light, where the green undertones reveal themselves gradually.
Where Tarjei Belongs
Tarjei carries the Daily Essentials designation because the hand-polished acetate construction and soft silhouette make it genuinely practical for all-day wear — light enough to forget, refined enough to notice. It moves between professional and creative contexts without adjustment, adapting to the wearer’s day rather than defining it.
For those who want a cat-eye frame that flatters without committing to the full drama of the silhouette, Tarjei is the answer. For those who want their eyewear to carry warmth and character without requiring effort, Tarjei is the frame.
