If there were ever a situation where glamour merged with retro, this frame would define that moment! Ultra Vulture by Karen Walker is an oversized frame in a square shape. It is tempered with tapered edges to create a striking yet wearable sunglasses shape.  Of course, this Karen Walker frame is completed with their signature arrowhead pins at the temples.

To add to the merits of this frame, it is sustainable and eco-friendly! It is made out of premium bio-acetate. This is a more natural version of acetate, created from wood pulp cultivated and harvested by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) guidelines. It is a unique vegetable-derived solution that replaces traditional chemical plasticiser. The result is that the frame is made out of 68% raw materials obtained from natural and renewable sources. Wear them with a good conscience, as these frames are both bio-based and biodegradable.
