Our first frame and still the one we reach for. KANTE is cut from a single block of black acetate, with a flat brow, squared lenses and a triple steel rivet at each hinge. Sharp from the front, soft at the temple.

Why you will love it

• Hand-polished black acetate with a deep, glassy finish
• Five-barrel steel hinges that keep their tension
• Dark grey Category 3 lenses with a UV400 filter
• Medium fit that sits well on most faces

How to wear and care

Fold the left arm first and store in the case. Rinse the lenses with lukewarm water and dry with the cloth provided. Avoid leaving the frame on a car dashboard, as heat can warp acetate.
