Ten millimetres of acetate at the brow and a round lens with a flat top edge, so it reads as round from across the room and squarer close up. The tortoise is a dense brown sheet with amber flecks; the brown lens is standard because grey looks cold against it.

At 34 g it is the heaviest frame here. Acetate this thick holds a fit well, but it also presses on the nose over a long day. The keyhole bridge helps; it does not make it light.

The things about this piece that people write to us about. None of them is a fault, all of them are worth knowing first.

  • Heavy - 34 g sits on your nose all day
  • Acetate this thick takes longer to loosen but also longer to re-adjust
  • Tortoise pattern varies pair to pair

Cleaning. Rinse, dry with the cloth. Keep out of heat; store in the case.

Protection. Every lens we sell, whatever its tint, is UV400: it blocks UVA and UVB up to 400 nm. The darkness of the tint has nothing to do with the UV filter.

Tested. Six people wore this frame for a month before it was listed. The drawbacks above are what they reported.

Orders from €80,00 ship free; below that it is €4,90. One to two working days in Italy, two to four for most of the EU.

Anything unworn, in its case with the cloth, can come back within 30 days. Hinges and lens coatings are covered for 2 years. The full policy.

Measured my face at 138 mm, took the M as the guide said, and it sits exactly where the photo shows. First pair of sunglasses I have bought online that fit.

The weight on the page is accurate. I wanted something light and the number told me which to buy before I had to try three.

The polarised lens does blank my petrol pump screen at an angle, as warned. Still my favourite pair; just wish I had read the warning first instead of second.
