TC Charton is an American eyewear brand designed specifically to fit the distinct facial features of the Asian American community and others with underrepresented face shapes. Founded by designer Alexandra Peng Charton, the brand was born from a desire to create frames that don’t just look good—but truly fit.

What sets TC Charton apart is its focus on inclusive design and anatomical precision. Every frame is developed with unique bridge shapes, adjusted tilt angles, and tailored proportions to ensure all-day comfort and proper alignment.
Crafted from high-quality acetate and titanium, the collection spans classic, modern, and fashion-forward styles—all built with purpose and intention.
TC Charton has redefined what it means for eyewear to be inclusive, proving that no one should have to settle for “close enough.” These are frames that empower confidence through comfort and reflect the diversity of the people who wear them.
