The outer corners rise to a point about 8 mm above the lens centre, which lifts the whole face. The front is a flat gloss black with a slight brow; the lens is a dark grey. It photographs well from every angle except straight on, where the point disappears.

Sharp corners catch. On a hat brim, a collar, a car door frame. The acetate is thick enough to take it, but a chipped tip is the most common repair we see on this shape.

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

  • Pointed tips chip if knocked - keep it cased
  • Acetate loosens in heat
  • Polarised option dims some screens

Cleaning. Rinse, dry with the cloth. Case it between wears.

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.
