Vera Bradley VBColene vs. Similar Frames
If you're considering the VBColene, you might also be looking at other Vera Bradley acetate frames in the same price range. Here's how the VBColene compares to similar options in our collection.
VBColene vs. VBLonna
Both the VBColene and VBLonna feature oval shapes and acetate construction with Vera Bradley's signature patterns. The VBColene is priced at $107.17, while the VBLonna ranges from $98-$110, making them nearly identical in cost. The main difference comes down to the specific pattern options and subtle variations in the oval shape. If you prefer a classic oval with proven customer satisfaction (the VBColene has 4 positive reviews), the VBColene is the safer choice. The VBLonna may offer different pattern selections if your preferred design isn't available in the VBColene.
VBColene vs. VBGrace
The VBGrace offers a rectangle shape instead of the VBColene's oval, and it's slightly less expensive at $104.55. This is the key decision: do you want the softer, more universally flattering oval (VBColene) or the structured, angular rectangle (VBGrace)? Oval frames like the VBColene work better for square or diamond face shapes because they soften angular features. Rectangle frames add definition and work well for round or oval faces. Both are acetate, both are prescription-ready, and both feature Vera Bradley's signature temple patterns. Choose the VBColene if you want a more versatile, feminine look that pairs easily with any outfit.
VBColene vs. VBDiana
The VBDiana is another Vera Bradley option at $104.55, making it slightly less expensive than the VBColene. Without seeing the exact shape of the VBDiana, the VBColene's advantage is its proven customer feedback—reviewers specifically mention loving the lightweight design and comfortable fit. The VBColene's oval shape is also one of the most universally flattering frame shapes available, making it a lower-risk choice if you're buying online without trying on first.
Our recommendation: The VBColene is an excellent choice if you want a versatile oval frame with Vera Bradley's signature style. The lightweight acetate, comfortable fit, and positive customer reviews make it a reliable option. If you prefer more structure or have a rounder face, consider the VBGrace rectangle instead. For the best value, the VBColene's $107 price point is competitive with similar Vera Bradley styles while offering a shape that works for the widest range of face types.
