Description
Few colour combinations in eyewear history carry the weight of ivory and tortoiseshell. The Blanc Tortoise reinterprets this timeless pairing through a modern cat-eye silhouette — clean, confident, and unmistakably feminine without ever feeling predictable.
The frame is crafted from premium acetate in crisp ivory white, its smooth matte surface providing a fresh, modern canvas that flatters warm and cool complexions alike. Where the ivory meets the temples, rich amber tortoiseshell acetate takes over in bold, graphic blocks — a deliberate two-tone construction that turns the hinge detail into a design feature rather than a functional afterthought. The tortoiseshell continues along the inner temple length, revealing itself fully when the glasses are removed — a detail appreciated only by those closest to you. The result is a frame that reads clean and minimal head-on, yet reveals layers of character from every other angle.
The softly lifted cat-eye shape adds an elegant upward sweep at the outer corner — enough to lift the face and add definition without veering into vintage costume territory. It sits beautifully on a wide range of face shapes, particularly flattering oval, round, and heart-shaped faces.
TAC polarized 1.1mm lenses in deep smoke eliminate glare from reflective surfaces with distortion-free optical clarity, while full UVA/UVB protection keeps your eyes shielded through the brightest days. At 50mm lens width, the fit is refined and proportionate — a 22mm bridge sits comfortably across the nose, and 145mm temples provide a secure, relaxed hold from morning to evening.
Every pair arrives presented in a handcrafted bamboo hard case — a sustainable, beautifully finished gift-ready box that protects your sunglasses in style — accompanied by a soft microfibre cleaning pouch. A purchase that arrives as a gift, whether for yourself or someone else.
Timeless by design. Polarized by necessity.
