FAQs

What is the lens category, and what does it mean for light conditions?

These sunglasses feature Category 2 lenses, which have a medium-dark tint. They are suitable for average brightness outdoors and absorb 57-81% of sunlight. They are not recommended for very bright conditions (like intense sun at the beach) or very low light conditions.

What are TR18 lenses made of?

TR18 lenses are made from copolyester technology by Eastman, known for their clarity and resistance. They are also environmentally friendly and provide 100% UV400 protection.

How should I clean and store my sunglasses?

Clean your sunglasses using the included microfiber cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. Store them in the provided microfiber case to protect them from scratches and dust when not in use.

Are these sunglasses suitable for driving?

Category 2 lenses offer moderate tinting. While they can be used for driving in average daylight, they may be too dark for driving at dusk or in very overcast conditions. Always ensure your vision is not impaired.

What is the frame material?

The frames are made from high-quality cellulose acetate, known for its durability, resistance, and ability to hold vibrant colors and finishes.

What accessories are included with the sunglasses?

The sunglasses come with a personalized microfiber case, a personalized box, and a set of decorative stickers.

Are these sunglasses unisex?

While marketed as a female model, the design and dimensions are generally suitable for adults who appreciate the style. The product information also mentions 'No Gender Model' in one description, suggesting unisex appeal for the frame style.

Troubleshooting

Lenses appear smudged or dirty.

Gently clean the lenses with the provided microfiber cloth. For stubborn marks, use a lens cleaning solution specifically designed for eyewear.

Sunglasses feel loose or slip down.

The acetate nose pads and wider earpieces are designed for a secure fit. If slippage persists, consult an optician for potential adjustments or consider the silicone sleeves for added grip.

Frame material shows signs of wear or discoloration.

Avoid exposing the cellulose acetate frame to prolonged high heat or harsh chemicals. Clean regularly with the microfiber cloth. Minor scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft cloth.

Purple tint from lenses affects color perception significantly.

This is a characteristic of the cosmetic purple lenses designed for a specific aesthetic. If accurate color perception is critical for an activity, consider a different pair of sunglasses with neutral-tinted lenses.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Striking and unique design inspired by retro fashion.
  • Durable and high-quality materials (cellulose acetate frames, TR18 lenses).
  • Effective UV400 protection for eye safety.
  • Designed for comfort with ergonomic features and secure grip.
  • Includes a complete care package (microfiber case, box, stickers).

Cons

  • Category 2 lenses offer medium-dark tinting, suitable for average brightness but may be too dark for low light or too light for intense sun.
  • The bold geometric cat-eye style may not suit all face shapes or personal preferences.
  • Cosmetic lenses might not offer the same level of optical correction or performance as specialized photographic lenses.
  • Requires specific care for acetate frames to maintain their finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These sunglasses require no setup; they are ready to wear upon arrival. They are compatible with most adult head sizes due to their standard dimensions. To ensure longevity and maintain their appearance:

  1. Cleaning: Use the included microfiber cloth to gently wipe the lenses and frame. Avoid using abrasive materials or chemical cleaners, which can damage the lens coating and frame material.
  2. Storage: Store the sunglasses in the provided personalized microfiber case when not in use to protect them from scratches and dust.
  3. Handling: Avoid placing the sunglasses lens-down on surfaces. Handle them by the temples or bridge.
  4. Maintenance: Periodically check the hinges and nose pads to ensure they are clean and secure. The cellulose acetate frame can be sensitive to extreme heat.
