Product Information

Full details

The Saint Laurent Cassandre Sunglasses in Black are designed for the adult female seeking a blend of sophisticated style and reliable sun protection. Their key benefit lies in the iconic Cassandre hinge combined with full UVA/UVB protection, offering polished, everyday wear. A potential consideration is that acetate frames, while durable, require careful handling to prevent scratches. These sunglasses feature a classic black acetate frame with a rounded cat-eye shape, wide temples, and nylon lenses, embodying structured styling and essential sun coverage.
