THIS STYLE IS FOR MEDIUM SIZED FACES. If you want a larger sized frame please look at our Turtle Island in black color with has been sized up for larger faces.
This glass is rich in story and tradition. Artist Donald Chretien, masterfully incorporates the Ojibwe turtle design onto this classic style. Vibrant and incredibly detailed in design Turtle Island is the name of North America according to some Indigenous groups.
The name Turtle Island comes from First Nations folklore. Many storytellers have different versions of the story, but they mostly agree on how the turtle is part of the creation story. Many First Nations Peoples hold special respect for the fabled turtle that, according to folklore sacrificed his life so that the Earth’s people could have a second chance.
This new frame is unisex, lightweight with adjustable nosepads and able to accommodate progressive lenses. Available in a tasteful satin blue front (medium size) or matte black (large size).
Every pair of optical frames comes with an embossed hard case and microfibre cleaning cloth, and 2 year warranty.
Partial proceeds from the sale of all AYA eyewear and accessory items are donated communities in need.

Amazing, beautiful, and comfortable
I bought 4 pairs of glasses in total. 2 pair, and then -- because they were so cool -- another pair (Turtle Island) for me and bonus pair for my wife. These glasses are not just unique and stunning to look at, but they're also extremely comfortable and have an obvious and noticeable level of quality. And I know it sounds odd... but I swear, everything looks crisper with these glasses compared to the same prescription from an American eyeglasses chain.

Optical Frame: Turtle Island
Beautiful and well made! My third set of frames from Claudia Alan and they all have been lovely!

beautiful frame
color is just as great in person as it is on the website photography. I've got a very strong prescription in them so I'm straining the limits of the frame (and thus, there's a tiny bit of deformation in one bracket- but that's on me, not on the production quality of the frame itself) but the frame is light enough that the weight of my lenses is less noticeable! (my dad's going to be disappointed that the frames were accepted by my optician because if they were refused they'd go to him!)

Beautifully made
Love these eye catching frames. They are a little larger than I had envisioned, but by adjusting the nose pieces, they fit perfectly.
