Overview of TIG

TIG is shaped around a graceful leaf like silhouette, combining an elongated oval base with a subtle pointed upsweep that creates lift without sharpness. The shallow depth makes the frame extremely adaptable, especially for wearers with higher cheekbones or lower bridges, while the gentle taper adds structure and elegance.

Versatile across many face shapes, TIG works particularly well for wider faces, higher cheekbones and lower brow lines. The shape offers expressive lift while remaining calm and adult, shifting character from soft and eyeliner like in the fine cut to bold and dramatic in the heavy cut. TIG is one of the most quietly expressive frames in the MADE to MEASURE collection.

Who TIG Suits

Face Shapes:

  • Wider faces needing lift and elongation

  • Oval faces that suit a refined upswept silhouette

  • Heart shaped faces benefiting from an elegant tapered frame

Features:

  • Higher cheekbones

  • Lower bridges

  • Wearers wanting expressive lift without extreme angles

  • Those who prefer a softer, elegant upsweep rather than a strong cateye

TIG’s shallow depth and pointed upsweep make it especially flattering on faces that need vertical control and gentle lift. The shape adds refinement and brightness, balancing wider or more sculpted cheekbones.

Available in 2 Weights

Fine:

Elegant, soft and eyeliner like. The slender rim enhances the leaf shaped outline and pointed lift, creating a refined everyday frame with a graceful feminine character.

Heavy:

Bold and sculptural. The thicker rim sharpens the silhouette and increases presence, giving the frame a dramatic, expressive identity. Dark colours feel powerful, while translucent tones soften the boldness.

Materials, Colours & Craftsmanship

TIG is handcrafted from premium Italian cellulose acetate, chosen for its clarity, depth of tone and ability to hold refined upswept shaping. Each frame is individually cut, contoured and polished in our London workshop. The pointed lift, oval base and tapered edges are all refined by hand to achieve balance, smoothness and precise expression.

All of our frames use premium German hardware, high precision hinges selected for durability, smooth action and long term reliability.

TIG is offered in a palette of elegant neutrals, rich tortoises, warm crystals and deeper tones. Light colours highlight the soft upsweep, while darker palettes create a more dramatic and sculptural look.

Two TIG frames shown front-on: one in XXL width and one in XXS width, illustrating the full size range available in our made-to-measure eyewear.
