Polished by hand, three times.
Each frame is cut from Italian cellulose acetate, then tumbled and hand-polished over four days until the tortoiseshell glows.


Halcyon · Coastline
Hand-polished acetate sunglasses with amber lenses, tuned for the last hour of sun.
Through the lens the glare drops away, the haze lifts and the colour of the coast comes back.

Each frame is cut from Italian cellulose acetate, then tumbled and hand-polished over four days until the tortoiseshell glows.

A warm amber tint lifts contrast in low sun, and the polarising layer cuts the white glare off water and stone.

Tortoiseshell with amber, sea glass with grey-green, and onyx with smoke. Same frame, same five-barrel gold hinges.

The amber stays clear enough to wear through dusk, so you can keep them on until the lanterns come up.
