Every frame is designed in-house in Miami by our founders, Carolina and Lauren. Each style is developed over several months of sampling. Silhouette, fit, color and finishing details are refined until the frame is right.
We chose our partners the way we design our frames: intentionally and thoughtfully. Their workshops in China and Vietnam make eyewear for names you’d know from the runway. Every acetate frame begins with Mazzucchelli, Italy’s acetate house since 1849.
Every frame begins as an original design by our founders. We never work from existing frame templates. Each style starts as a technical drawing and is refined through several rounds of samples for fit, proportion, color, and finish. Only then does it go into production.
Yes. All Past Midnight eyewear is designed to be worn by anyone.
We would rather make less than make too much. Every style is produced in small batches to reduce waste. Our manufacturing partners and material suppliers are vetted for ethical production. Past Midnight is not fast fashion.
Small runs let us stay close to every stage of production. We check the fit, color, and finish of each style before it reaches you.
Most styles are made in small numbers. Once a style sells through, it may not return, or it may come back in a future production run. When we can, we open preorders so you can reserve a pair ahead of the next run. Join our list for first access to restocks.
Every pair arrives with a protective case and a microfiber cleaning cloth.
Each frame's measurements are listed on its page. Compare them with a pair you already own and love. Still unsure? Write to us at orders@pastmidnight.com and we will help you choose.
Yes. Most of our frames can be adjusted for a closer fit. Our Care Guide shows how. Your local optician can also adjust them for you.
Our acetate frames are made from Mazzucchelli cellulose acetate from Italy. Acetate is lighter and more durable than standard plastic. It also wears in over time. Our metal frames are stainless steel. Every lens is CR-39 with a scratch-resistant coating and 100% UVA/UVB protection.

Each product page shows an estimated ship date. It is an estimate, not a guarantee. Production, quality control, and customs can move it.
Each frame takes about four months to make, from sourcing the acetate to final quality checks. Any step can run long. We would rather send your pair late than send it before it is ready.

To keep your eyewear looking its best, we recommend storing your frames in their case and cleaning your lenses with the included microfiber cloth. Avoid placing your frames lens-side down and keep them away from heat, harsh chemicals, and rough surfaces.
Please note that prolonged exposure to heat can cause both acetate and metal frames to warp, stretch, or lose their original shape. We recommend avoiding storing your eyewear in hot cars or other high-temperature environments whenever possible.
Over time, normal wear may also cause the plating and finish on metal components to naturally age. This is a normal characteristic of metal eyewear and is not considered a manufacturing defect.
With proper care, your Past Midnight eyewear is designed to be enjoyed for years to come.
We do not offer a warranty at this time. How a frame wears depends on daily use and care. If your pair arrives with a defect, write to us at orders@pastmidnight.com within 10 days of delivery for review.
