Sleek Rimless
Shades
A single rimless lens spanning both eyes, cut into a soft cat-eye and held on a slim metal arm. Six tints, four of them fading.
Polarised lenses with UV400 filtering.
One lens, not two
The front here is a single continuous sheet that runs from one temple to the other. There is no bridge crossing the middle and no join between left and right — just an unbroken curve of colour with the nose bar hidden behind it. That is why the tint reads so cleanly on the face.
Photographed in a dark grey tint. The same cut is offered in six finishes.
Nothing in front of the lens
A one-piece rimless front is mounted only at the two outer corners and supported by a slim metal nose bar that sits behind the lens rather than through it. From straight on there is no hardware visible across the face at all.
The temples are slim metal, running from a small metal marker at the outer corner and widening into a decorative link along the arm before a moulded tip. The lens edge is polished rather than left square.
Where it sits
- A continuous lens that covers the whole eye area with no break at the nose
- The outer corner lifts into a soft cat-eye without any rim to define it
- Nose pads sit behind the lens, so the fit adjusts without showing
- Very little weight at the front — there is no rim and no bridge
- Suits every face shape, since there is no frame line to balance
A gradient with nowhere to hide
The lenses are polarised with an anti-glare treatment and full UV400 filtering across UVA and UVB. On a one-piece lens the gradient has to run evenly across the entire width in a single pass — there is no rim, and no second lens to match it against.
Four of the six tints fade rather than sitting flat: darker at the brow, clearing towards the lower edge. Brown and Dark Blue are the two solid ones.
One cut, six tints
The two Fading tints clear almost to nothing at the bottom edge. Dark Blue is the deepest and the closest to a conventional sunglass.
Why it costs what it costs
A one-piece rimless lens is the hardest front in eyewear to produce. It has to curve across the full width of the face without distorting, carry an even gradient over that whole span, and be drilled at the corners without cracking. There is no rim to hide a flaw and no second lens to average against.
We sell direct. There is no shop floor and no distributor taking a cut on the way, so the retail margin that normally sits on top is not in the price. On this frame that margin would have been paying for a lens you can already see is the whole product.

Is a one-piece lens strange to look through?
No, because the nose bar sits behind it rather than through it. What you notice is the absence of the vertical bridge line most sunglasses put in the middle of your vision.
Which tint is the most wearable?
Dark Blue or Brown. Both sit deep enough to work as everyday sunglasses. The two Fading tints are lighter and read as colour on the face rather than as shade.
Can the fit be adjusted?
Yes, at the nose. The pads sit on metal arms behind the lens and can be pinched or eased. Because the lens is one piece, that is the only adjustment that changes how it sits.
Are these fragile?
Less so than a two-lens rimless pair, because there is no join at the bridge to work loose. The stress points are the two outer mounts — so hold the frame by both sides rather than by one.
Can prescription lenses be fitted?
Not practically. A one-piece rimless front cannot be reglazed to a prescription the way a standard rimmed frame can. This one is a sunglass rather than a frame.
How should it be cleaned?
Rinse under cool water and dry with a soft cloth, holding both sides. Avoid twisting: on a rimless build any force goes straight into the mounting points.
Six tints, and every one cut singly
A one-piece lens cannot be cut two at a time, and any distortion across the span means the whole front is scrapped. That is what caps the run on every tint, and the Fading pair are the hardest to reproduce.
Pick your tint 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.
