Karen Walker One Hybrid Sunglasses
Colour: Putty Sepia
Code: KAS2101944
Another hybrid edition from the renowned New Zealand designer Karen Walker. This pair was inspired by the true-to-brand "Number One" style by the brand. This time, however, it is sleeker, lighter and finer than its predecessor! 
The original KW arrow is replaced with a more subtle triangle inlay at the temples.
This frame is made out of premium bio-acetate. This is a more natural version of acetate made from wood pulp. It is cultivated and harvested within the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) guidelines. A unique vegetable-derived solution replaces traditional chemical plasticiser.
Since approximately 68% of its raw materials are derived from natural and renewable sources, the frames are both bio-based and biodegradable.
Features:
  • Alternative Fit 
  • Higher nose pads to prevent the frames from sliding or resting on the cheeks.
  • Cat-Eye Shape
  • Provides good UV protection
  • Provides high protection against sun glare
  • Comwa with a hard case and a cleaning cloth
  • Can be fitted with prescription lenses
  • Crafted in premium bio-acetate to phase out chemical additives and optimise biodegradability at the end of life.

Lenses: Category 3, Non-Polarised, gradient
