Sunglasses
A small rectangle in thick acetate, with a faceted temple that flares at the hinge and folds flat. Six finishes, four of them muted.
Polarised lenses with UV400 filtering.
Small front, loud profile
From straight on this is a modest rectangle — narrow, low, nothing dramatic. Turn to the side and the temple opens out into a wide faceted panel that is almost as tall as the lens. The whole design lives in that contradiction, and it is why the frame photographs completely differently from two angles.
Photographed in Green. The same front is cut in five further finishes.
The temple is the design
Where most frames taper the arm away from the hinge, this one does the opposite. The temple flares outward into a broad panel cut with flat facets, so it catches light in planes rather than curves, then narrows sharply to a thin arm that folds tight against the front.
The rest is kept plain on purpose. A small metal triangle sits on the outside of each temple, the rim is a simple thick rectangle, and the bridge is moulded straight into the front.
Where it sits
- A small, low lens that sits high and leaves the cheekbone clear
- The flared temple covers the side far more than the front suggests
- Moulded acetate bridge, so the height on the nose is fixed
- Folds almost flat, so it packs into a bag rather than a case
- Suits round and oval faces; the straight lines do the balancing
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.
The lens is tinted to match the frame rather than defaulting to grey — amber with Nude, pink with Rose, brown with Leopard. It is the detail that makes the muted colourways work.
One front, six finishes
Black and White carry a neutral grey lens. Leopard, Nude, Rose and Green each run a lens tinted to the frame.
Why it costs what it costs
Six colourways means six separate sheets of acetate and six matching lens tints — a frame that ships in one colour with one grey lens is far cheaper to run. The faceted temple then has to be cut rather than moulded, because flat planes on a curved arm cannot come out of a single mould cleanly.
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 of a frame like this is not in the price. What that pays for is the range: six finishes, each with its own lens.
- Sold direct — no retail margin stacked on the frame
- Polarised, UV400 lenses rather than a plain tint
- Cut acetate with the colour in the material, not sprayed on
- A lens tint matched to each frame colour, not one grey for all
- Six finishes at one price

Why are the temples so wide?
Partly for the look and partly for coverage. A small front lets in light from the side; a broad temple blocks it. It is the reason this frame is more practical in strong sun than its size suggests.
Do they really fold flat?
Close to it. The temple narrows sharply after the flared section, so the arms lie against the front rather than standing off it. It is the difference between a frame that lives in a bag and one that needs a case.
Which colour is the easiest to wear?
Nude or Green. Both are muted enough to read as neutral from a distance and only show their colour up close, which is what makes a small frame interesting rather than plain.
Does the tinted lens change what you see?
Slightly, yes. Amber and pink warm everything a little; grey keeps colours true. All of them carry the same UV400 filter, so it is a question of taste rather than protection.
Can the fit be adjusted?
Not at the bridge, which is moulded into the front. An optician can warm and reshape the arms if they sit too wide — the usual adjustment on an acetate frame.
How should it be cleaned?
Cool water and a soft cloth. Keep solvents and alcohol wipes off the acetate — they dull the polish on the facets, which is where the light is supposed to catch.
Six finishes, and the muted ones go first
Each colour needs its own acetate sheet and its own lens tint, so nothing here can be mixed to order. Nude, Rose and Green sell through 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.
