Acetate vs Metal Sunglasses

Two materials. Two completely different feelings. Here's everything you need to know before you choose.

What is Acetate?
Plant-based acetate is a premium plastic derived from natural cotton and wood pulp. It's lightweight, durable, and — most importantly — it gets better with time. Acetate frames flex to fit your face, hold their color well, and carry a richness that cheaper plastics can't replicate.

At VOYA, our acetate frames — AURA, SOL, LUNA, HORIZON and OASIS — are made from plant-based acetate. Bold, structured, and designed to last. See our full Acetate Collection.

What is Metal?
Metal frames — typically stainless steel or titanium — offer a completely different experience. Slimmer profiles, lighter weight, and a refined aesthetic that acetate simply can't achieve. Metal frames sit closer to the face and tend to feel almost invisible when worn. See our full Metal Collection.

Our metal collection — ECLIPSE, DAWN, DUSK, and ORION — is crafted from premium stainless steel. Lightweight by nature, lasting by design.

Which Should You Choose?

Choose acetate if you want: bold color, rich texture, a statement frame that holds its shape and character over years of wear.

Choose metal if you want: a minimal, barely-there feel, slim profiles, and a frame that works as hard at a business meeting as it does at a beach bar.

Or choose both. That's what we'd do ;)
