Handmade from plant-based acetate, the frame is lightweight yet durable, with a clean black finish that pairs easily across seasons. The green Carl Zeiss lenses cut glare and balance contrast, making them just as usable in softer light as full sun.
Monokel Eyewear make their black frames by mixing black ink with raw biodegradable cellulose acetate from cotton and wood pulp. The result is a highly durable, hypoallergenic material, made from renewable resources.
Aviator pilots of the 1930s are often credited with making green lenses popular, choosing to wear them due to their ability to work in both sunny and low-light environments while reducing glare and brightening shadows.
