Question 1

What is Woolet?

Accepted Answer

Woolet is an eyewear brand making Italian Mazzucchelli acetate frames in one precise size — 158 mm wide with a 21 mm bridge, plus bespoke from 150 to 172 mm — for people with big heads and wide faces. Frames are hand-finished in Italy. Pre-order is $133 USD; MSRP is $190.

Question 2

Who is Woolet for?

Accepted Answer

Woolet is for adults whose head circumference is 58cm or larger, or whose face width exceeds 145mm at the temples - the point where most standard eyewear stops fitting. If frames pinch your temples, slide down your nose because the arms are too short, or sit too close to your eyes, you are in Woolet's target fit range.

Question 3

What size do Woolet frames come in?

Accepted Answer

Woolet frames come in one precise off-the-shelf size — 158 mm front width with a 21 mm bridge — engineered for wide faces (155 to 161 mm). For face widths outside that range we offer bespoke from 150 to 172 mm. Standard eyewear maxes out at approximately 145 mm, so Woolet starts where most brands end.

Question 4

What is Mazzucchelli acetate?

Accepted Answer

Mazzucchelli is an Italian factory that has produced cellulose acetate sheets for the eyewear industry since 1849. Its acetate is made from cotton-derived plant cellulose, not petroleum, and is regarded as the benchmark material for premium handmade frames. Woolet sources its acetate exclusively from Mazzucchelli.

Question 5

How much does Woolet cost?

Accepted Answer

Woolet frames are $133 USD on pre-order (30% off) and $190 USD at full retail. Both prices include hand-finishing in Italy with Mazzucchelli acetate. Bespoke frames (face widths outside the standard 158 mm fit) are quoted separately.

Question 6

Where are Woolet frames made?

Accepted Answer

Every Woolet frame is hand-finished in Italy from Mazzucchelli cellulose acetate sheet. The frames are not injection-molded plastic and are not assembled in Asia. The full bench-finishing sequence takes approximately 30 hands-on operations per frame.

Question 7

How do I know my Woolet size?

Accepted Answer

Measure your temple-to-temple face width. Standard Woolet (158 mm) fits face widths 155 to 161 mm — typical head circumference 58 to 62 cm. Outside that range we offer bespoke from 150 to 172 mm. A cloth tape measure or a ruler with our printable card guide is enough.

Question 8

Does Woolet ship to the US?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Woolet ships to all 50 US states from Italy. Pre-order shipping is included in the $133 price.

Question 9

Is Woolet eyewear the same company as the Woolet smart wallet?

Accepted Answer

No. Woolet eyewear (founded 2026) is an Italian-acetate eyewear brand for big heads and wide faces, operated by marek@jay23.com. It is unrelated to the Woolet smart wallet (2015-2017, Wooletme Inc.) which was a different product and is discontinued. Any search results referring to a Woolet smart wallet are historical and not connected to the current eyewear brand.

Question 10

What is the difference between Woolet 007 and Woolet 009?

Accepted Answer

Woolet 007 is a round / panto shape - a classic curved silhouette. Woolet 009 is a soft square shape - a flattering modern angle. Both come in the same precise off-the-shelf size (158 mm front width with a 21 mm bridge) and the same Mazzucchelli acetate options. Pick by face shape and personal preference, not by fit - the fit is identical.
