A blunt rectangle in heavy acetate, cut square at every corner. Five finishes, and the only frame here with its sizing printed on the temple.
Lens 53 mm, bridge 20 mm, temple 150 mm — printed on the inside of the arm.
No curves anywhere
Four straight edges and four square corners, in acetate thick enough that the rim reads as a block rather than an outline. Nothing is rounded, softened or tapered. It is the most literal shape in the range, and that bluntness is the entire appeal.
Photographed in Black. The same front is cut in four further finishes.
Thick enough to stay square
Square corners are the first thing to round off on a cheap frame, because there is not enough material behind them to hold an edge. Here the acetate is kept deep the whole way round, including across the brow and down the outer face, so the rectangle stays a rectangle.
The temples are wide flat blades in the same material with a small metal marker at the hinge, and the bridge is moulded straight into the front.
53 – 20 – 150
- 53 mm lens — a mid-size front that covers the eye without oversizing
- 20 mm bridge, wider than average, so it suits a broader nose
- 150 mm temples, longer than most, which suits a wider head
- Moulded acetate bridge, so the height on the nose is fixed
- Straight lines soften a round face and sharpen an oval one
Measurements read from the size marking printed on the inside of the temple, the standard lens–bridge–temple notation.
Filtered, not just tinted
The lenses are polarised with an anti-glare treatment and full UV400 filtering across UVA and UVB. Polarisation removes the flat white shine off a wet road or a windscreen; UV400 is the protection figure, and it is the number worth reading on any pair.
Four of the five finishes carry a mirrored or smoked lens; Black runs a solid dark tint, and Leopard is the only warm brown gradient in the range.
One front, five finishes
Black and Black Smoke share a frame and differ only in the lens. Blue and White are solid colours; Leopard carries its pattern through the acetate.
Why it costs what it costs
A square corner in acetate is cut, filed and polished by hand on all four sides of both lenses. It is slower than a rounded edge and far less forgiving, because any deviation reads as a crooked frame rather than a soft one. Thick material makes it heavier to work but is the only way the corner survives.
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. What that pays for is the finishing, and a frame honest enough to print its own sizing where you can read it.

What does 53–20–150 mean?
It is the standard eyewear size notation: 53 mm lens width, 20 mm bridge, 150 mm temple. Find the same three numbers inside a pair you already own and you will know exactly how this one will fit.
Is this a large frame?
Mid-size at the lens and generous everywhere else. The 20 mm bridge and 150 mm arms are both wider and longer than average, so it suits a broader face better than a narrow one.
What is a mirrored lens for?
It reflects a further portion of light off the front surface before it reaches the tint, so it cuts more brightness than the same tint without a mirror. It also hides the eyes completely.
Can the fit be adjusted?
An optician can warm and reshape the arms — useful here, since 150 mm is on the long side. The bridge is moulded into the front, so its height is set by the design.
Does a mirrored lens scratch more easily?
The mirror sits on the outer surface, so it is the layer that shows a scratch first. Rinsing before wiping matters more on a mirrored lens than on a plain one.
How should it be cleaned?
Rinse under cool water, then dry with a soft cloth. Keep solvents off the acetate — they dull the polish on the square corners, which is the part that took the work.
Five finishes, and the corners cap the run
Square corners have the highest scrap rate of any cut we carry — a corner that comes out soft cannot be fixed, only rejected. Blue and White go first and are the hardest to match again.
Pick your finish 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.
