The Details
Embrace ur rough edges with this post punk classic from Crap Eyewear.
The No Wave is a keyhole-bridge frame cut in plant-based bioacetate. The 27 mm keyhole bridge is the widest in the Crap frames here and the 44 mm lenses are compact, so despite the 144 mm front it wears medium: it suits narrow and medium faces with a nose bridge that has some height. Five colourways are in stock: Desert Tortoise Bio / Polarized Plum, Lunar Tortoise Bio / Polarized Olive, Seaweed Bio / Polarized Smoke, Black Tortoise Bio / Polarized Bronze and Licorice Bio / Rosewood. Crap designs and tests the line in Los Angeles. Reach for it if you want a post-punk keyhole frame with some weight to it.
Features
- Plant-based bioacetate frame, biodegradable and petroleum-free
- CR-39 optical-grade lenses with 100% UVA/UVB protection, polarized on select colourways
- 5-barrel stainless steel hinges
- Wire-core temples that bend to hold an adjustable fit

What people say
I have a small head and fairly narrow face which has made it difficult for me to find a pair of frames that doesn’t swallow me from the nose up. This frame is so flattering on me and I feel like they are the perfect mix of feminine and masculine.
Only thing is that they do “run small”. I took a little gamble with these saying “medium to large” but I think in reality they are solidly “medium”.
However, they fit quite wide on me. I have a fairly large head for a gal but they tend to sit halfway off my nose.
Dubbed “The No Wave,” the new sunglasses put a geometric, post-punk twist on the classic keyhole silhouette, and give off a look all its own.
The No Wave fits narrow and medium faces with a nose bridge that has some height; its 27 mm keyhole is the widest bridge we stock and slides on low noses. Ignore the Medium - Wide label, because owners say it wears medium.
