Black Chunky Acetate Sunglasses with Gold Medallion Temples
A short rectangular sunglass cut from thick acetate, the outer corners bevelled back rather than rounded, with a round gold-tone medallion set at each hinge.
Two finishes, one shape, and the run is kept small.
Held at the wheel, read at the lights
On a long drive a frame spends hours at the same angle, and the people who see it are the ones beside you at the lights and across the table at the stop. A compact rectangle sits square on the face at that distance, and the medallion at the hinge is the part that catches first.
The reading is not softness. Thick acetate blades and a round gold-tone medallion are deliberate hardware, worn close to the eye where nobody can pretend not to see them. What changes on the second look is the assumption about the car, the route and the day — a frame this specific suggests the whole thing was planned rather than survived.
Push them up into your hair at the services and the gold stays visible.
Thick acetate blades, bevelled at the corner
The front is cut from thick acetate as a short rectangle, with the outer corners bevelled back rather than rounded off, so the shape ends on a flat facet. The bridge is moulded into the front, which sets the height on the nose rather than leaving it adjustable.
A round gold-tone medallion is set at each hinge, where the wide acetate blade of the temple meets the front — it is the piece your fingers land on when you fold them. The lenses are coated for UV protection and treated for glare reduction on light reflected off roads, water and snow. The lens measures 53 mm wide on an 18 mm bridge, with a 124 mm frame width and 140 mm temples.

Cut acetate and set metal, in small lots
Cutting acetate at this thickness and setting a metal medallion into each hinge is slow, so the shape is made in small lots rather than carried on continuously. Sold direct with no retail margin on top, which is what holds that work at this price, and a return of the same run is not guaranteed.
Choose black or white above and add it to the bag. If the scale is not yours, fourteen days is enough to send it back.
