Karen WalkerSuper Hybrid Sunglasses 

Colour: Putty Tort 

Code: KAS2101941 

RRP: $300

This style was re-imagined from the classic bestseller Karen Walker sunnies, ' Super Duper Strength.' 

The re-creation has resulted in a unique blend of 'putty' colour and Crazy Tort acetate combined into one frame. 

Gold-tone metal temples with a tortoiseshell triangle overlay reflect the signature Karen Walker logo. 

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 
• Featuring higher nose pads to prevent the frames from sliding or resting on the cheeks.
• Provides good UV protection 
• Provides high protection against sun glare 
• Comes 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.
