    We perform detailed and complete testing procedures on both lenses and frames.

    Three tests are performed on the lens during the manufacturing process:

    • Inspection of the polished glass quality; individual check of the glass polishing.
    • Shock resistance measurement by ball-test; a ball weighing 16 grams is dropped from a height of 1.27 m onto the lens to test its shock resistance.
    • Inspection of treated lenses, under specific lighting conditions to ensure that the glass has no scratches/imperfections.


    Each frame is individually checked before the product is packaged.

On each product leaflet, we indicate the temple width (distance between your temples) and the frame size (S for Small, M for Medium or L for Large) in order to help you select the pair of sunglasses most suited for your face.

To figure out the temple width of your face, use a ruler to measure the distance between the two horizontal screws of the arms on your current glasses. (If you have a fine/angular/large round, we recommend the size small/medium/large).

Size Small refers to a temporal distance of 5-5.2 inches (131-135 mm). Great for small and medium sized faces with square or oval shape

Size Medium to 5.1-5.3 inches (136-140 mm). Great for small and medium sized faces with square or oval shape

Size Large to 5.3-5.7 inches (141-146 mm). Great for large sized faces with round, square or oval shapes

Size Extra-Large to 5.8 inches and more (+ 147 mm). Great for large sized faces with round, square or oval shapes
