The Noah eyewear collection marks the brand’s first entry into sunglasses with two styles: The Angus and The Keating. Handmade in Japan, both frames are produced from 100% bio-circular acetate and fitted with mineral glass lenses that provide 100% UVA and UVB protection. The material selection combines biodegradable acetate with scratch-resistant glass lenses, bringing durability and optical clarity to the collection. Each frame is also prescription eligible and includes a fabric case and lens cloth.
The Angus features a thicker 8mm frame profile and custom two-tone seven-barrel hinges finished in gold and silver plating. The Keating adopts a slimmer 6mm construction with round lenses and matching two-tone five-barrel hinges. Both styles share a 22mm bridge and 145mm temples. The Angus is offered in Tortoiseshell and Black, while The Keating is available in Tortoiseshell, Black, and Green. Both models are available now and retail for $288 USD.
