The Mellume AS112 is a classic round frame with clean, uninterrupted curves and a solid acetate build. No flash, no gimmicks—just a well-proportioned circular silhouette that has never gone out of style. Cut from single-color acetate sheets and hand-polished to a deep gloss, the AS112 suits buyers who need timeless frames that sell season after season. Ideal for vintage eyewear retailers, independent fashion boutiques, and online sellers building a core round Sunglasses collection.
Round frames have held steady demand since the John Lennon era and continue to anchor street style, music festival culture, and minimalist fashion. For wholesale sunglasses buyers, the AS112 is a dependable volume driver that crosses demographics and never needs markdown clearance at season end.
Product Features
- Solid Acetate Frame — Single-block cellulose acetate CNC-cut into a full round profile. The material holds its shape, resists daily scuffs, and delivers a natural luster that plastic injection molding cannot match.
- UV400 TAC Lenses — Standard Category 3 tint blocks 100% of UVA and UVB radiation. Reliable protection without the cost of premium lens upgrades.
- Balanced Proportions — The medium-diameter round shape stays proportional on most faces. Not oversized to the point of costume territory, not so small it disappears.
- Five-Barrel Hinges — Stainless steel construction with manual tension calibration. Smooth opening action that holds firm after thousands of cycles.
- Multiple Colorways — Classic black, tortoise, and translucent tones in stock. Easy to build a varied retro sunglasses display from a single product line.
- Lightweight Comfort — Approximately 28g per frame. Customers can wear them all day without nose bridge fatigue.
Craftsmanship
Design Inspiration: The AS112 traces its lineage to the round wire frames of the 1960s counterculture—think Lennon, Dylan, and the Greenwich Village folk scene. But instead of thin metal, the AS112 reinterprets the shape in solid acetate. The result keeps the intellectual, artistic vibe of the original round silhouette while adding the substance and color depth that only acetate can deliver. The frame radius is calibrated to stay tasteful rather than theatrical.
Frame Dimensions: Lens Width: 50mm | Bridge Width: 21mm | Temple Length: 145mm | Frame Width: 138mm | Weight: ~28g. The 50mm lens diameter produces a defined round look without pushing into oversized territory. The 21mm bridge accommodates a range of nose widths comfortably.
Nose Pad Design: Integrated acetate nose pads are CNC-carved in one piece with the frame front. No glued add-on pads that separate after a season of try-ons. The pad contour is shaped for stable contact without pressure points.
Hinge Design: Recessed five-barrel stainless steel hinges with flat-head countersunk screws. Each hinge assembly is manually adjusted for consistent tension. The mechanism is tested beyond 10,000 open-close cycles.
Temple Style: Curved acetate temples taper naturally toward the ear. A stainless steel wire core runs the full temple length to prevent shape loss from body heat and ambient temperature fluctuations.
Surface Finish: Six stages of hand polishing—from rough shaping to final wax compound—produce a consistent high-gloss surface with no visible machining marks.
Application Scenarios
Face Shape Compatibility: The AS112 round silhouette works best for square faces (circular frames soften angular jawlines), heart-shaped faces (round lower half balances wider forehead), oval faces (adds character to natural balance), and diamond faces (soft curves offset cheekbones). Less suitable for very round faces where the circular shape exaggerates facial roundness.
Target Wholesale Buyer Profiles:
- Vintage and retro eyewear shops — Round frames are the anchor shape of any vintage-inspired collection. The AS112 delivers the look without the fragility of actual vintage stock.

What We Solve for Your Business:
- Round frames from my current supplier look lopsided—one lens sits higher than the other. Every AS112 frame is checked on a lens alignment jig before packing. Lens symmetry is a non-negotiable checkpoint in our 12-step QC process.
- I want a classic round but most factories only offer trendy oversized versions. The AS112 runs a true medium-diameter round, not an oversized fashion statement. It fits the classic round niche that vintage buyers actually search for.
- I need to stock three colors but cannot afford deep inventory per SKU. Mix black, tortoise, and translucent in one order. As few as 12 pieces per color with our low MOQ terms.
- I want temple logos but my last supplier's laser engraving was off-center on half the batch. Our laser engraving jigs are calibrated per frame model. Your logo lands in the same spot on every pair. Engraving mold fee starts at $15.
- Custom acetate colors take too long and the reorder batch never matches the sample. We maintain color-matching records for every custom acetate run. Your reorder matches your approved swatch. Pre-production physical samples confirmed before every production batch.
FAQ
Q: What is the difference between the AS112 and AS113 round frames?
A: The AS112 is a classic medium-diameter round (50mm lens) with a cleaner, simpler profile. The AS113 is slightly larger (52mm) with a more pronounced vintage-retro character. Choose AS112 for a timeless look, AS113 for a bolder vintage statement.
Q: Does the round shape work for men?
A: Yes. The AS112 is designed as a unisex frame. The 50mm lens diameter is intentionally kept moderate to suit both men's and women's face proportions.
Q: Can I order the AS112 with polarized lenses?
A: Standard AS112 stock comes with TAC UV400 (non-polarized) lenses. Polarized TAC upgrade is available. Contact us with your order quantity for pricing.
Q: How durable is the acetate finish against daily wear?
A: Solid acetate is significantly more scratch-resistant than painted or sprayed finishes. Normal handling wear will not affect the frame color or gloss. For deep scratches, acetate can be re-polished—unlike sprayed frames that require complete refinishing.
