The Details
Say hello to paradise in this Crap classic.
Late-seventies punk with a dash of nineties decadence, as Crap puts it: The Paradise Machine is a square frame in plant-based bioacetate, middling in width, so it fits most faces without sitting big or pinching a wide one. One colourway, Black Bio / Grey, a black frame with a grey lens. Spring hinges take the strain off the temples and the wire cores bend to hold their shape. This is the plain black square for someone who wants an everyday frame with an edge to the outline.
Features
- Plant-based bioacetate frame, biodegradable and petroleum-free
- CR-39 optical-grade lenses with 100% UVA/UVB protection
- 5-barrel stainless steel hinges, spring type
- Wire-core temples for an adjustable fit

What people say
They allow me to not have to worry about the pressure on the side of my head when wearing a typical pair of shades and they really complete any outfit.
I think my head may be too small for them They fall off me all the time. But they are super cute!
Narrow frame that fits in great with my motorcycle helmet, and i love the quality of the lens when I ride. The only thing is that wearing them on my face with no hat the sun can get through the top of the frame and into my eyes.
They do look best when they sit quite low on the bridge of the nose so sometimes they can be bothersome for long periods of time.
The plain black square that fits more heads than its 141 mm suggests, thanks to spring hinges and a 132.5 mm hinge spread. Small, low noses are the risk: it slides.
