Square Metal
Sunglasses
A thin wire rim bent into a clean square, with a straight brow bar and a slim blade temple. Six colourways across three frame finishes.
Polarised lenses with anti-glare treatment and full UV400 filtering.
As little frame as a square allows
Most square frames get their shape from the thickness of the front. This one does the opposite: the rim is a hairline of wire and the square is drawn rather than built, so what you notice on the face is the lens colour and the straight line of the brow bar. It is the quiet version of a shape that is usually loud.
Photographed here in Gold Black. The same frame is offered in gold-tone, silver-tone and dark metal.
Drawn in wire
The front is a continuous run of thin metal wire closed into a square on each side, joined by a straight bar that crosses the bridge at brow height. Nose pads sit on short metal arms below it, so the frame can be set higher or lower rather than resting where it lands.
The temple is a slim flat blade that runs straight back from a small barrel hinge, with a short decorative block just behind the joint and a plain moulded tip at the end. There is no bulk anywhere on the frame, which is what keeps a square this size from feeling heavy.
Where it sits
- A medium-wide square that covers the eye area without reaching the brow
- Nose pads on metal arms set the height and keep the rim off the cheek
- A wire rim keeps the weight low — the frame is barely felt across the nose
- The straight brow bar reads level, which suits a face with a strong jaw or brow
- Slim blade temples slide flat under a hat or a hood
Filtered, not just tinted
The lenses are polarised with an anti-glare treatment and full UV400 filtering across UVA and UVB. Polarisation is what removes the flat white shine off a wet road, a windscreen or open water; UV400 is the protection figure, and it is the number worth reading on any pair.
The lighter tints — rose, brown, the purple gradient — read as everyday lenses; the dark greys are the ones to take driving.
Six lenses, three finishes
Gold Black, Pink Gold and Brown use the gold-tone rim; Blue and Night Blue use the silver-tone rim; Black is finished in dark metal throughout.
Why it costs what it costs
A wire rim is not the cheap way to build a square frame. Bending and brazing a thin front square and true costs more than moulding a plastic one in a press, barrel hinges cost more than pins, and a polarised lens costs more than a tint. None of that is where the usual shelf price comes from.
We sell direct. There is no shop floor between the frame and you and no distributor taking a cut on the way, so the retail margin that normally sits on top of a build like this is simply not in the price. What that money pays for instead is the lens — polarised with UV400 on all six colourways, rather than the good lens being reserved for one finish.

Is this a big frame?
Medium to wide. The lens is a true square rather than a wide rectangle, so it sits taller on the face than most square frames of the same width.
Can the nose pads be adjusted?
Yes. They sit on metal arms and can be pinched closer or eased apart by hand to raise or lower the frame. Any optician will do it in a minute if you would rather not.
Is a thin wire rim fragile?
It is thinner than an acetate front, so it will bend before it breaks — which is usually the better failure. A bent wire rim can be trued up by an optician; a snapped plastic front cannot.
What does polarised actually change?
It removes the flat glare that bounces off horizontal surfaces — wet tarmac, a car bonnet, water, snow. Colours look deeper and you squint less. It is separate from UV filtering, which this lens also carries at UV400.
Will the plated finish wear?
It keeps its finish best when the pair goes back into its case rather than loose into a bag.
How should it be cleaned?
Rinse under cool water to lift grit, then dry with the cloth supplied. Dry-wiping a dusty lens is what causes the fine scratching people blame on the coating.
Six colourways, and not many of each
Each finish is held in a small run. The gold-tone pairs go first and the rose and the brown are usually the first to disappear — when a colourway goes it is not always brought back.
Pick your colourway above and add it to the bag. If it is not right on your face, send it back — the only thing you risk is missing the one you wanted.
