These thick-rim cat-eye acetate sunglasses combine an upswept front shape with sculpted geometric edges and broad temple arms. The substantial acetate profile gives the frame a bold, structured appearance, while the angled browline and tapered outer corners add definition to the classic cat-eye silhouette.
Designed for eyewear retailers, fashion boutiques, online eyewear stores, and wholesale distributors, this model is available in four distinct colorways, ranging from dark tortoiseshell to translucent amber and solid crimson red. The different frame and lens combinations make it suitable for both understated everyday collections and more expressive fashion assortments.
For buyers looking to expand an existing collection, Mellume offers ready-stock supply and Semi Custom options based on eligible existing designs.
Why Choose This Frame?
-
Sculpted Cat-Eye Front: A thick front rim, defined bevels, and raised outer corners create a distinctive silhouette without relying on decorative embellishments.
-
Wide Acetate Temples: Broad, tapered temples give the frame a substantial side profile and provide space for selected branding applications.
-
Four Distinct Colorways: Dark Havana, black-and-white granite tortoise, translucent amber yellow, and crimson red offer different styling directions for a single frame shape.
-
Wholesale-Friendly Supply: Ready-stock availability and order quantities depend on the selected colorway and current inventory. Eligible designs may also support selected Semi Custom options.
Key Design Features
Thick-Rim Front with Geometric Bevels
The front frame uses a pronounced rim and sculpted edge transitions to emphasize the cat-eye outline. The upturned corners create a sharper profile than a rounded or softly curved cat-eye design, making this style suitable for fashion-led sunglasses collections.
Broad, Tapered Temple Arms
The wide temples extend the frame's bold appearance beyond the front. An internal wire core is specified in the product construction, while the visible temple profile provides room for selected logo placement or other approved branding details.
Integrated Nose Area
The nose area is formed as part of the acetate front rather than using separate adjustable nose pads. Fit will depend on the wearer's nose shape and the frame's dimensions, so buyers should evaluate fit using a sample before placing a larger order.
Multi-Barrel Hinges
The frame is specified with multi-barrel hinge hardware. Buyers evaluating samples should check hinge alignment, opening and closing resistance, screw security, and the consistency of the temple movement across units.
Lens Options
The listed colorways pair the frame with dark gray or tea brown lenses. The precise lens material, UV protection performance, and any prescription-lens compatibility should be confirmed against the specifications for the supplied version before purchase.

Available Colorways
C3 — Dark Havana Tortoise / Dark Gray Lenses
A classic dark tortoiseshell pattern paired with dark gray lenses. This combination offers a relatively restrained option for everyday fashion and contemporary eyewear collections.
C4 — Black & White Granite Tortoise / Dark Gray Lenses
A high-contrast black-and-white marbled pattern gives the frame a more graphic appearance. It works well for assortments that emphasize distinctive acetate patterns rather than solid colors.
C5 — Translucent Amber Yellow / Tea Brown Lenses
The translucent amber-yellow acetate allows the internal temple core to remain visible. The warm frame and tea brown lenses create a coordinated color combination with a softer visual effect than the darker variants.
C6 — Crimson Red / Dark Gray Lenses
A solid crimson-red frame creates a strong color statement, balanced by dark gray lenses. This version can add a more expressive option to a collection built around classic black and tortoiseshell frames.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What makes this frame different from a conventional cat-eye design?
The defining features are the thick front rim, angular bevels, raised outer corners, and broad temples. Together, these details create a more sculptural and substantial appearance than a slim or softly curved cat-eye frame.
Q2: How do the four colorways differ when displayed in a retail collection?
Dark Havana is the more classic option, while black-and-white granite tortoise has a stronger patterned effect. Translucent amber highlights the internal temple core, and crimson red provides the most vivid color contrast with the dark lenses.
Q3: What should buyers inspect on the translucent amber version?
Check the consistency of the translucent acetate color, the appearance of the visible temple core, the finish around the hinge area, and whether both temples align evenly when the frame is closed.
Q4: Can this frame be fitted with prescription lenses?
Prescription suitability should not be assumed from the frame style alone. An optician should assess the lens dimensions, frame construction, prescription requirements, and fitting needs before confirming whether a specific prescription can be accommodated.
Q5: What should be confirmed before a wholesale order?
Confirm the selected colorway, actual stock availability, lens specifications, logo requirements, packaging, sample approval, and delivery schedule. Buyers should also verify any requested UV protection or product compliance documentation for the exact version being supplied.
