Features
- The front frame is precision CNC-cut from solid black acetate blanks, delivering a bold rectangular silhouette with clean, sharp lines. The temples are crafted in translucent crystal acetate — available in deep red, vivid emerald green, classic tortoiseshell, and solid black — creating a striking dual-tone contrast that maximizes shelf appeal and social media visual impact.
- Fitted with high-definition Triacetate Cellulose (TAC) polarized lenses that eliminate 99% of reflected glare from water, pavement, and vehicle surfaces. Engineered for superior color accuracy, reduced eye strain, and excellent scratch resistance — a genuine value-added selling point for quality-conscious end consumers.
- Each pair features precision-embedded silver-tone metal accents at the hinge joint where the black front meets the colored temples. This subtle yet premium design detail reinforces brand perception and adds a tactile luxury element that translates directly to higher perceived retail value.
- The polarized lenses deliver 100% defense against harmful UVA and UVB radiation (UV400 rated), meeting international sunglass safety standards and making them suitable for outdoor lifestyle and active leisure retail categories.
- Engineered with a seamlessly integrated molded nose bridge on the chunky front frame and gently tapered temple tips. The 49-20-145 proportion delivers a comfortable medium fit suitable for both men and women, maximizing your addressable consumer base without SKU fragmentation.
How It's Made
1. Precision CNC Machining: Premium solid black and crystal acetate sheets are CNC-cut into the signature rectangle front blanks and broad, tapered temple profiles with exacting dimensional tolerances.
2. Color-Block Assembly: The black front frame and colored crystal temples are precision-joined at the hinge block, with silver-tone metal accent plates embedded for seamless visual continuity.
3. Multi-Stage Hand Polishing: Each frame undergoes progressive tumbling and hand-buffing wheels to achieve a flawless high-gloss finish on both the solid black and translucent colored components.
4. Hinge & Lens Installation: Reinforced optical metal hinges are riveted into place, and precision-cut polarized TAC lenses are securely mounted into the rectangular rims.
5. Rigorous Quality Audit: Every batch undergoes polarization efficiency testing, UV absorption verification, hinge cycle endurance checks, surface finish inspection, and alignment calibration before export packaging.

FAQ
Q1: How do polarized TAC lenses perform better than standard tinted lenses?
Our polarized triacetate cellulose lenses specifically block horizontally reflected glare from surfaces like water, car hoods, and pavement — dramatically improving visual comfort and clarity for your end consumers compared to standard tinted lenses that only darken the view.
Q2: Can we mix color variants within a single bulk order?
Yes. We support flexible mixed-color wholesale orders across all four color variants (Crystal Red, Crystal Green, Tortoiseshell, and All-Black), allowing you to test multiple SKUs in a single shipment for seasonal collection launches.
Q3: Are the crystal translucent temple colors stable over time?
Yes. We source premium anti-UV cellulose acetate sheets that pass rigorous environmental aging tests, ensuring the translucent crystal colors maintain their clarity and vibrancy throughout retail shelf life and consumer use.
Q4: Can we customize the metal accent color at the hinge?
Yes. For bulk OEM orders meeting our custom hardware MOQ, we offer the silver-tone metal hinge accents in alternative finishes such as gold-tone, rose gold, or gunmetal to align with your brand's visual identity.
Q5: What is the minimum order quantity for custom logo engraving?
We offer low, flexible MOQs for custom laser engraving on the inner temples, tailored to support independent brand launches and seasonal drops. Contact us with your target quantity for a tailored quotation.
