The Details
One part downtown disco, two parts rock royalty, served up with a twist.
A big aviator squared off at the bottom of the lens, its colourways pairing a metal finish with tortoise bioacetate. The front is wide with a deep lens and a narrow bridge, so it sits big on a medium face and fits a wide one without sliding, with spring hinges taking up the rest. Polished Silver & Espresso Tortoise Bio / Lilac Wash is the pair in stock, with Brushed Gold & Cinnamon Bio / Vintage Mustard listed alongside it. For anyone chasing a stage-lit seventies look.
Features
- Plant-based bioacetate frame, biodegradable and petroleum-free
- CR-39 optical-grade lenses with 100% UVA/UVB protection
- Stainless steel 5-barrel hinges
- Wire-core temples that hold an adjustment

What people say
Big heads rejoice! These are the lightest sunglasses I’ve ever worn. They are INSANELY comfortable. I don’t feel them on my face AT ALL.
This style can overwhelm my face (it's medium leaning towards narrow i guess?) but these frames are perfect — the light colours + the shape strike an awesome balance between being flattering and making a statement.
The lavender tone is subtle, it comes off more neutral and the shade coverage is perfect. Sheer enough for indoor wear but dark enough to protect my eyeballs from the sun, how they managed that I dunno, but I like it.
These glasses are amazing, everyone compliments them. If they kept the gold frames and used black polarized lenses I would buy so fast.
The Glass Bubble is the big aviator for wide faces that can never find one. It is 148 mm across and barely there on the face, with a light lilac lens you can keep on indoors.
