Our ‘Snake Eyes’ sunglasses are crafted in gold-plated aerospace-grade titanium side-temples with a premium acetate front. These ultra-lightweight unisex frames are decorated with a pale gold metal teardrop in front to match the side-temples, punctuated with a 1.7mm natural blue sapphire round. The blue sapphires are untreated and natural, and vary from light to medium blue. The frames come in four colour options: deep transparent black, warm tortoiseshell, transparent emerald green, and transparent ice. The tortoiseshell comes in both gloss and matte surfaces. The lenses provide 100% UV protection and crystal-clear vision without distortion: sheer mirror pale-gold for the black and ice frames, our favourite gradient brown for the tortoiseshells, and gradient mauve for the emeralds. The side-temples feature a ‘Telato’ engraving effect, made by tiny, unevenly scored lines in a cross-hatch pattern to give a ‘linen texture’, paying homage to classic Florentine hand-engraving techniques. Our frames are made with ethically-sourced materials. In view of this, combined with our obsession to details, we’ve decided that a glasses case should not simply be just ‘a glasses case’. Each pair comes in a beautiful designer case which multi-functions as a chic shoulder bag. It is made from sustainable vegan eco-friendly, durable pineapple fibre mock- crocodile leather, finished with beautiful hardware and a slender metal shoulder chain. In the case you may want to leave your glasses at home, you can stick your phone, keys and essentials in our shoulder-bag and you’re ready to go.
