Black Oversized Square Acetate Sunglasses with Cutout Temples
An oversized square in thick acetate, with broad temple panels cut clean through in a triangle and a small gold-tone ornament at the lower outer corner of each lens. Gradient lenses throughout.
Six finishes, all of them from one short run of panels.
Halfway up the coast path
The coast path narrows and you stop to let a couple come down the other way. They are close enough to say good morning, which is close enough to see everything — and what they see is the frame, because it is the one hard line on a face full of wind and weather.
Up close, oversized square is a statement about intent rather than about sun. The lens runs past the outer corner of the eye and the temples are broad enough to close off the side of the face, so you are the person they cannot read. He says good morning twice. The second look, three steps later, is the one that files you somewhere.
They are still talking about it at the stile.
Broad panels, cut clean through
The front is moulded in thick acetate, with the lens carried past the outer corner of the eye and a small gold-tone ornament set into the acetate at the lower outer corner of each lens. The bridge is moulded into the front rather than fitted with adjustable nose pads.
The temples are the part you notice with the hand: broad acetate panels with a triangular section cut clean through them, running on metal hinges. The cut-out takes material out of the heaviest part of the frame and leaves the outline, so the width stays and the bulk does not.

A cut-out costs material and time
Cutting a triangle clean through a broad acetate panel takes the temple to the edge of what the material will hold, so the panels are made in short runs and rejected easily. Six finishes come out of that one short run, and a return of the same run is not guaranteed.
Sold direct rather than through a shop, so what you pay goes into cut acetate and inset metal. Fourteen days to send it back if the scale is not yours.
