About The Frame
Rare Bird is a striking cat-eye frame created for those who want their eyewear to feel distinctive, glamorous, and full of personality. Its dramatic cat-eye silhouette features beautifully sculpted corners that sweep upward, creating a flattering lifted effect and an unmistakably feminine appearance. Vint & York describes the design as inspired by something exceptional and rare—an idea that perfectly captures the frame’s statement-making character.
The bold cat-eye shape gives Rare Bird a confident vintage influence while its substantial acetate construction keeps the overall look modern and sophisticated. The sculpted temples add another layer of personality, giving the frame an artistic quality that makes it stand apart from more traditional cat-eye styles. Vint & York specifically highlights the frame’s distinctive coiled temple detailing as part of its signature design.

I did the legwork as to what I was interested in and wanted to try on. I went to the Elizabeth St shop and Olivier was knowledgeable and able to get these squared away. He mailed the glasses to me with the understanding if I needed help I would come back in. The customer service was exceptional, and the glasses are comfortable and attractive beyond what I could have hoped for.
It was a very good value.
I got the thinnest lenses in photochromatic.
Please bring all the colors back!!! I love these frames so much!
I identify so much with my frames that I check literally every day if they are available again. I keep asking to notify me but I haven't gotten any reply in many months :( I would be devastated if they are gone forever.
I have a heart-shaped face with wide, sharp cheekbones, and I've always wanted cat eye frames. Finally, I've found a pair that are appropriately wide enough for my face!! And they have so much personality, they are just beautiful. I tried them on in the app on the website and it was true to fit. I'm over the moon with these frames.
I absolutely love the shape and feel of the Rare Bird frames. So much so that I am going to order another pair. I am really impressed with the thinness of the lens and the clarity. I purchased another pair of prescription lens from another brand and there is no comparison to the Rare Bird in terms of style and quality.

Loved the glasses! I was somewhat skeptical about ordering progressive lenses online, but they are perfect! No adjustment needed at all!
Wow. If you are looking for an amazing dramatic cat eye that makes a statement, these are for you.
Customer service was amazing and delivered these quickly after the holidays. Packaging was amazing and once I put these on, could tell there was nothing else quite like these.
Magical. 100% recommend if you want a bold frame. These frames have an incredible story that was included when sent as well. A rare bird indeed.
The Rare Bird's design is unique and I like it. However, the temple arm length turned out to be too long.
My new glasses arrived today and I am IN LOVE! They look so great and are perfect! The color is really fantastic, a great sort of clear teal, but sometimes the light catches them and they could be black darker. They really compliment my face shape, if I do say so myself!
I was looking to buy something out of the ordinary that would compliment my big personality and make a statement. Eli from Vint & York was patient and extremely helpful during my selection process. He was also very knowledgeable and was able to point out good options that would fit the shape of my face and meet my personal requirements. I am so very pleased with my purchase!
