A heavier take on the cat-eye, with a wide brow line and a rim that thickens towards the corners. It sits high and covers a lot of face. The green-grey lens is a true-colour tint that suits the warm acetate better than neutral grey.

The red tortoise is a brighter sheet, more orange than brown, and the pattern varies more than the amber.

Cleaning. Rinse, dry with the cloth, case it.

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.
