Oversize Vintage Inspired Frames with Grey Square Lenses

The Kaia features an oversized design with a vintage-inspired look, making it one of the more playful options in the Monokel Eyewear collection. It is carefully made, combining square lenses with thick, prominent frames.

The Havana acetate is crafted through a meticulous method. Initially, small pellets in shades of yellow, brown, and orange are created by blending organic color powders with raw biodegradable cellulose acetate. This process produces a durable, hypoallergenic material derived from renewable sources. These coloured pellets are then hand-mixed and stirred to form the distinctive speckled Havana pattern, ensuring that each frame features a unique design with no two pairs exactly the same.

Grey lenses offer a timeless look and adaptability. They effectively minimize glare in bright or overcast conditions and help reduce eye strain. These lenses also preserve accurate color perception, displaying colours as they truly are. Each lens is treated to resist scratches and reflections and provides full UVA and UVB protection. They are produced by the well-known German optics company Carl Zeiss.
