Black Thick Acetate Narrow Rectangle Sunglasses
A blunt rectangle cut from heavy acetate, square at every corner, with a deep rim and wide acetate blade temples. Polarised lenses with full UV400 filtering.
Square corners are hand-finished, which caps the batch.
Courtside, between sets
Two sets in, the chairs on the terrace have turned to follow the sun, and everyone is watching the same baseline from behind something dark. Yours is the one anybody could describe afterwards, because it is square at every corner and there is no rounding anywhere on it.
A blunt rectangle on a face is a decision rather than a default. The rim stays deep across the brow and down the outer face, so the corners hold their edge instead of softening at the distance where people actually look at you. Between games you take them off, and the change is abrupt enough that the woman beside you stops mid-sentence.
She asks about them before the next service game.
Square at every corner, no rounding
A blunt rectangle cut from heavy acetate, square at every corner with no rounding anywhere on the front. The rim is kept deep across the brow and down the outer face, which is what lets the corners hold their edge rather than wearing soft.
The temples are wide acetate blades with a metal marker at the hinge, and the bridge is moulded into the front. The size is printed on the inside of the temple as 53–20–150: a 53 mm lens, a 20 mm bridge and 150 mm arms, both of the latter wider and longer than average.

Square corners are finished by hand
Square corners on heavy acetate are hand-finished, because a moulded corner rounds and this one does not. That work sets the ceiling on how many fronts exist at a time, and a return of the same run is not guaranteed.
Sold direct with no retail margin on top, which is what keeps hand-finished square corners at this price. Fourteen days to send it back.
