Vintage Round Acetate Frames in Tortoise & Black Finishes
There is a reason retro round frames cycle back into fashion every few years — but the reason they cycle out just as fast is the quality gap. Most wholesale retro rounds are cheap plastic that turns cloudy after a few months of UV exposure and sweat. AS096 breaks that cycle. Built from genuine acetate with a polished tortoise and black color range, these frames give buyers the timeless silhouette their customers want, in a material that holds its finish season after season.
The tortoise pattern is sheet-embedded, not surface-printed — meaning the amber, honey, and dark brown tones run all the way through the material, not sitting on top as a peelable layer. The black variant uses a deep, glossy acetate that catches light with the kind of luster only real acetate can deliver. For distributors sourcing wholesale retro round Acetate Sunglasses or bulk tortoise vintage sunwear, AS096 offers a category staple built to earn repeat customers rather than return requests. Explore additional frame profiles in our Acetate Sunglasses collection.
Product Features & Details
- Frame & Material: Genuine sheet-cut acetate in two finish options — classic tortoise (amber, honey, dark brown mottled pattern) and deep gloss black. Both are through-colored, not surface-coated, resisting peeling, clouding, and UV degradation.
- Shape & Silhouette: A true round lens profile with a medium frame thickness that balances vintage character with modern wearability. The circular geometry makes an intentional style statement without pushing into costume territory.
- Hinge Design: Metal pin hinges with consistent, smooth articulation. The same precision engineering found in our Metal Sunglasses range — a uniformity that multi-material buyers appreciate when sourcing across categories.
- Temples & Fit: Acetate temples with integrated nose pads, cut directly from the frame material for a seamless single-material construction. The rounded bridge sits comfortably without pinching, suitable for extended daily wear.
- Lens Technology: TAC lenses with full UV400 protection blocking 99%+ UVA/UVB. The dark tint balances glare reduction with natural color fidelity — functional for driving, sharp enough for street style.

Application Scenarios
AS096 serves three distinct wholesale channels. Vintage and retro-focused DTC brands can anchor a throwback collection around the tortoise colorway — a pattern that photographs well across social media and e-commerce listings. Fashion accessory distributors supplying independent boutiques will find the round silhouette a proven seller that moves without heavy marketing support. Optical retail chains can position AS096 as an entry-level acetate option — recognizable shape, genuine material, wholesale price point that preserves margin. Buyers seeking ultralight premium alternatives can explore our Titanium Sunglasses line with the same customization flexibility.
Certificates
Every AS096 pair is manufactured to meet international safety standards, including ISO 12312-1 for sunglass UV protection, FDA registration for U.S. import compliance, and CE marking for European market distribution. Full compliance documentation and third-party test reports are available upon request — no surprises at customs, no last-minute certification gaps delaying your shipment.
Customization Options
With over 20 years of acetate frame manufacturing in Shenzhen, Mellume offers complete OEM/ODM flexibility for AS096 and the entire product line. Custom logos can be laser-engraved or metal-inlaid on the outer temple — the default placement for maximum brand visibility. Acetate color matching draws from an extensive sheet library covering hundreds of tones, textures, and translucency levels. Lens options include polarized, gradient tint, mirrored coating, and photochromic variants. Packaging runs from basic logo boxes to fully branded retail kits with custom cases, cloths, and hangtags. Flexible MOQ means you can validate with a trial batch before scaling to full production — no minimum that forces you to overcommit before testing demand.
FAQ
Q: What is the MOQ for custom logo retro round acetate sunglasses?
A: Our MOQ for OEM retro round acetate sunglasses with custom branding is flexible and designed around emerging brand budgets. Share your target quantity and we will build a production plan to match.
Q: Is the tortoise pattern printed or embedded in the material?
A: The tortoise pattern is embedded within the acetate sheet during manufacturing — not surface-printed or coated. This means the pattern will not scratch off, peel, or fade with UV exposure over time.
Q: Can I mix tortoise and black in a single order?
A: Yes. You can split your MOQ across tortoise, black, and coffee colorways within the same production batch.
Q: What face shapes suit round acetate frames best?
A: Round frames work best on square, oval, and heart-shaped faces. They soften angular jawlines and balance prominent cheekbones with a circular counterpoint.
Q: Do these frames come with a case or packaging?
A: Standard orders ship with protective packaging. Full custom retail packaging — branded cases, cloths, boxes, and hangtags — is available through our OEM service as an add-on to your production run.
