The Number One Sunnies by Karen Walker represents dramatic angles in geometric shapes. They all curve seamlessly into a more circular shape that merges into a signature shape. Karen Walker is a true legend in creating interesting shapes that sit well on the face! The Number One frame is no exception. Made from crystal vintage clear bio- acetate, the luminous frame is fitted with soft brown graduated lenses for a retro-glam look. The style is completed with a comfortable nose bridge, luxurious arms and our refreshed arrow hardware at the temple.
This silhouette is crafted in premium bio-acetate, a more natural version of acetate made with wood pulp that’s cultivated and harvested according to the guidelines of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and a unique vegetable-derived solution that replaces traditional chemical plasticiser. With approximately 68% of its raw materials obtained from natural and renewable sources, these frames are both bio-based and biodegradable.
