Black Narrow Rectangle Acetate Wide Temple Sunglasses
A narrow rectangle moulded in thick acetate, the material carried well beyond the lens across the brow and the outer corner, on wide flat arms.
Six colourways on a single front, each in a short run.
Standing where the view is, being seen
A clifftop car park is a line of people looking the same way with nothing between them and the light. Everybody there is in much the same coat; the frame is the only thing with a shape of its own, read at the distance of the next bonnet and again as you turn back to the car.
A short lens opening does something unusual on the face: it reads compact on a wide face and oversized on a narrow one, so it is never quite the same frame on two people. The contrast temple shows as you turn, and the metal marker behind the joint appears only in profile. The second look decides it suits you specifically, which is a stronger verdict than looking expensive.
Taken off at the car, the shape is what stays described.
Carried well beyond the lens
The front is moulded in thick acetate with the material carried well beyond the lens across the brow and the outer corner, which is what keeps a narrow shape from looking thin. The lens opening is short, cut to sit low on the brow and clear of the cheek.
The temples are wide flat acetate arms on metal barrel hinges, each set with a raised metal marker behind the joint, and the bridge is moulded into the front rather than fitted with adjustable nose pads. The lenses are polarised with an anti-glare treatment and carry full UV400 filtering across UVA and UVB.
Six fronts, several with contrast arms
- Six colourways: Black, Black Gray, Leopard, Gray, Taupe and Transparent Pink
- Several run the temple in a contrasting tone to the front
- Gray and Transparent Pink are translucent acetate
- Wide flat arms on metal barrel hinges, with a raised metal marker behind each joint
- Polarised lenses with anti-glare and full UV400 across UVA and UVB
- Each pair ships with a case and a cleaning cloth

Contrast arms double the setting up
Running a temple in one tone and the front in another means two sheets of acetate per pair and more setting up, so the colourways are made in small quantities. The translucent finishes go first, and a return of the same run is not guaranteed.
Choose a colourway above and add it to the bag. Fourteen days is enough to see how it reads on your face and send it back.
