The Mellume AS111 is a clean rectangular silhouette built for buyers who need a dependable, easy-to-sell frame that works across demographics. Cut from solid cellulose acetate and finished with multi-stage hand polishing, the frame delivers the glossy depth and structural integrity that separates factory-direct eyewear from low-cost alternatives. Designed for independent optical shops, online eyewear retailers, and boutique wholesalers looking for Acetate Sunglasses that balance classic proportions with modern finish quality.
The rectangular shape is the most universally wearable silhouette in eyewear. It suits professional environments, casual daily wear, and everything in between. For wholesale sunglasses buyers who need a safe bet that moves volume without returns, the AS111 is the answer.

Craftsmanship
Design Inspiration: The AS111 takes the rectangular frame—a shape that has anchored optical fashion since the 1950s—and refines it with contemporary proportions. The brow line is kept clean and horizontal, avoiding the exaggerated thickness that dates cheaper rectangles. The lens height is balanced to provide coverage without overwhelming smaller face shapes. The result is a frame that reads current-season without chasing trends that fade in six months.
Frame Dimensions: Lens Width: 53mm | Bridge Width: 19mm | Temple Length: 145mm | Frame Width: 140mm | Weight: ~30g. The 53mm lens width and moderate bridge make this frame suitable for most adult faces. It sits naturally on medium to wide face shapes without pinching or sliding.
Nose Pad Design: Integrated acetate nose pads are sculpted in one piece with the frame front during CNC milling. This eliminates the glue joint that fails on add-on pads after repeated wear. The pad angle is set for even weight distribution across the nasal bridge.
Hinge Design: Five-barrel stainless steel hinges are recess-mounted into the frame front and temple. Each hinge is individually tensioned during assembly for consistent opening feel across every pair in a batch.
Temple Style: Straight acetate temples taper from the hinge to the ear tip. The inner core carries a full-length stainless steel wire for shape memory. No temple droop after heat exposure or extended display time.
Surface Finish: Six-stage hand polishing delivers a deep gloss with zero tool marks. Each frame passes final inspection under 3x magnification.
Application Scenarios
Face Shape Compatibility: The AS111 rectangular silhouette works best for round faces (straight lines add definition), oval faces (complements natural balance), heart-shaped faces (horizontal brow offsets wider forehead), and diamond faces (clean angles soften cheekbones). Less suited for very square faces where the angular frame may double up on existing facial angles.

- Independent optical shops — A reliable core-stock frame that customers try on and buy without hesitation. The rectangular shape is the number-one-selling silhouette in prescription and plano eyewear.

- Uniform and corporate supply — Clean, professional look suitable for staff eyewear programs and corporate gifting.
- Department store accessory buyers — A safe bet for mid-tier accessory counters where the customer base spans ages and style preferences.
