On your head, out in the sun, their bulky build- quality is what sets these frames apart from the competition. Long story short, sunglasses seldom come this well made.

Priced at £375, there is a tangible sense of quality to the Banton Frameworks Sunglasses and you will immediately notice this when you hold them in your hand and place them on your face. The frame and temples (arms) of these classy sunglasses are cut from cellulose acetate sheet; a bio-material which derives from the naturally abundant compound found in wood pulp. Adding to the frames’ durability and longevity, Banton favour traditional methods to make their sunglasses. Solid steel pins pass through the acetate and securely fasten the durable 5-tenon hinges to their frames for a performance that is unparalleled.

Handmade in small batches, you’ll struggle to find a better made pair of sunglasses than those from Banton Frameworks and the fact they are overflowing with old school cool is the real icing on the cake. To prevent warping, the temples are reinforced with custom metal cores and this decorative but crucial metal pieces keep the acetate in shape and cater for the brand’s in-house adjustments service. Fully UV protective, the sun lenses are available in brown, grey or green for maximum versatility in varying sunlight. Behind such large lenses, your visual comfort is kept in check whilst reducing eye strain from reflected glare. Need a new pair of sunglasses in time for summer? Look no further.
