Retro Oversized Sunglasses with Metal Side Patterns
These retro oversized sunglasses use a large full frame rather than a rimless cut, with raised three-dimensional metal patterns worked into the sides where the arm meets the front. The lenses are gradient. The maker describes the frame as lightweight, which on a frame this size is the detail that decides whether a pair gets worn or left in a drawer. Four colourways. The maker's own product imagery states that these lenses filter ultraviolet light, but it publishes no rating or standard — no UV400 figure and no EN ISO reference — and we have not had them tested. We pass that on as the maker's claim rather than making one of our own. If you need documented UV performance, choose a pair whose rating is published. Imported.

How to Wear It
- A large retro frame wants hair back or up, or it competes with a fringe.
- Check the arms sit level; raised side detail shows a crooked fit more than a plain arm does.
- Store them in a case so the metal patterning does not catch.
- Pick the colourway by name on the dropdown; each matches a photograph.

About This Product
This listing is for one pair of large retro-framed sunglasses with raised metal patterning at the sides and gradient lenses, in four colourways. The maker has not published the frame material or lens material for this style, but it does publish frame measurements in its own spec image: 14 cm (5.5 in) across the front, a 6 cm (2.4 in) lens width, 5.5 cm (2.2 in) lens height, a 1.9 cm (0.75 in) bridge and 13 cm (5.1 in) temples, at 24 g (0.85 oz). Email support@splashis.com if you need the material composition and we will request the spec sheet from the factory for you. The maker's own product imagery states that these lenses filter ultraviolet light, but it publishes no rating or standard — no UV400 figure and no EN ISO reference — and we have not had them tested. We pass that on as the maker's claim rather than making one of our own. If you need documented UV performance, choose a pair whose rating is published. These are non-prescription sunglasses. Imported. Eligible refund requests are accepted within 30 days of delivery, subject to our Return & Refund Policy.
Who It's For
Best for:
- Anyone who wants a full frame rather than a rimless one
- Retro and seventies-leaning wardrobes
- Everyday wear and travel
- A smaller colour range chosen carefully rather than broadly
Why frame weight matters more on a large pair
A large frame puts more material further from the bridge, and the bridge is where all of it is carried. That is why two pairs with the same lens size can feel completely different: the one that slides down your nose by mid-afternoon is almost always the heavier one, and no amount of adjusting fixes it. The maker gives this frame as 24 g (0.85 oz), which is genuinely light for a frame this size. What you can check yourself on arrival is simple — put them on, look down at the floor for ten seconds, and see whether they move. If they do on day one, they will do it every day, and that is a returns question rather than a wearing-in question.
What to Pair It With
Hair off the face. Gold or neutral jewellery rather than silver, which fights warm retro tones. A large frame is the statement, so keep earrings small.
Care Instructions
Use the pouch or a hard case rather than dropping them loose into a bag, which is how lenses get scratched. Clean them with a microfibre cloth and plain water; paper towel and shirt fabric both scratch a coated lens. Take them off with two hands so the hinges stay square, and keep them out of a hot parked car, where heat warps frames and lifts lens coatings.
