Tortoiseshell Round Sunglasses with Metal Double Bridge
A round frame with narrow moulded plastic rims in a mottled tortoiseshell, crossed at the top by a metal double bridge: a bar at brow height and the bridge itself below it.
The mottled front is moulded in batches, and this is one of them.
A double bridge over a narrow circle
Cathedral square at the end of the afternoon fills with people who have stopped walking: sitting on the steps, standing at the fountain, all of them with time to look. A narrow round rim reads as an outline from across the paving, and the metal double bridge puts two horizontal lines over it where the eye expects one.
The read comes from the pairing. A circle is a soft shape and a double bar is an engineered one, and setting the upper bar along the line of the eyebrow is what keeps the round from going soft on the face. You push them up onto your head to read an inscription and the arms come back flat against the hair rather than catching. The second look counts two bars instead of one and decides the frame was chosen.
On the steps, someone looks up and then looks again.
Narrow rims, crossed by two metal bars
The rims are moulded plastic in a mottled tortoiseshell, kept narrow so the circle reads as an outline rather than a band. Across the top sits a metal double bridge — a bar at brow height and the bridge itself below it — and the whole front is CE marked.
The arms are plastic to match the rims, hinged at the outer corner and finished flat, so they lie against the head without a raised tip. It comes in a single tortoiseshell colourway with a warm brown gradient lens, stronger at the top and clearing towards the bottom, cut medium so the lens covers the eye without reaching the brow.

One mottled front, one metal bridge
Mottled plastic is moulded in batches and no two batches match exactly, so the front you order is from the run that exists. The double bridge is a separate metal part fitted to that front, which keeps the quantity to what was made. A return of the same run is not guaranteed.
Settle on it while the run is still listed. If the circle sits smaller on your face than you pictured, send it back within fourteen days.
