In 2009, Peng launched TC Charton Asian Fit Eyewear. Named after her Chinese initials, Tze Ching, and her husband’s surname Charton, TC Charton debuted eyewear specifically catered to Asian populations and other ethnic backgrounds that do not have the “standard” facial bone structures to fit the majority of glasses that are made in the industry.
Designer LEXANDER PENG
Designer Alexander Peng was born in Taiwan and grew up in Argentina, she can speak a total of 7 languages. As a child, growing up with a predominant Caucasian crowd, the now successful designer and entrepreneur, can relate to the troubles of finding a pair of glasses that fit the Asian bone structures. Whether it was the lower nose bridge, higher cheekbones or wider measurements from temple to temple, glasses just never fit the way they should. The glasses would not stay in a position and always slid down to the face.

While designing for European brands, Peng realized that she could not wear any of their products. And so she spent two years researching and analyzing the Asian anatomy until TC Charton got underway in 2009.
Since TC Charton was started, the elegant eyewear collection can be found in 50 to 60 locations in the United States and soon to expand to Hong Kong and the Philippines, and ultimately making its way to all of Asia.

With so much growing support and positive feedback, Peng continues to carry on her concept to launch her own, namesaked, luxury eyewear collection, Alexander Peng. The collection consists of six sunglasses and two ophthalmic frames for women. Constructed from Mazzucchelli acetate, the frames feature elegant shapes, rich colorations, intricate customized details and such accents as Swarvoski crystals. The new collection is available from Prologue Vision.
