Black Chunky Angular Square Acetate Sunglasses with Gold Accent
A chunky angular square moulded in black acetate at full thickness, every edge a flat plane, with a raised gold-tone ornament set into the outer face of each temple.
One colourway, Onyx Black, moulded in a short run.
Noon on a terrace, with the light flat
At noon on a terrace the light comes from straight above and everyone is squinting except the person who came prepared. An oversized square, cut wide enough to cover past the outer corner of the eye, settles that at a glance, and the wide temples close off the side as well as the front.
What people read from the next table is composure. The lens tone is a pale blue-grey rather than a flat black, so the eyes are still faintly there and the frame is not a wall; the gold-tone ornament behind the hinge appears when you turn to the waiter. The second look places the frame as considered, and the lunch as something you intended to look like this.
Folded onto the tablecloth, the square shape still holds the table.
Full thickness, flat planes, a stepped bridge
The front is moulded in black acetate at full thickness, cut square with an angled lift at the outer corner and stepped where the front meets the bridge. Every edge is a flat plane rather than a rolled one, which is what gives the shape its hard outline.
Each temple is a wide acetate arm on a metal hinge, with a raised gold-tone ornament set into the outer face just behind the joint. The bridge is moulded acetate, so the height on the nose is fixed rather than adjustable, and the lenses are polarised with an anti-glare treatment and carry full UV400 filtering across UVA and UVB.

A single colourway, made in small quantities
Acetate at full thickness has to be moulded and then cut back flat on every edge, and there is one colourway only, so there is no second tone to move across to once the run is gone. A return of the same run is not guaranteed.
Add it to the bag and judge it in your own midday light. Fourteen days is enough to send it back if the width is not yours.
