Retro-Futuristic Geometric Sunglasses

Balenciaga's Shield Rectangle Sunglasses Boast Three Options

— March 25, 2020 — Fashion
Luxury fashion house Balenciaga introduces a new launch of the Shield Rectangle sunglasses in three colorway options in time for the warmer seasons to come. The silhouette dates all the way back to the 90s and the latest design retains the most important components from the previous eras. The three main elements include small frames, an acetate base foundation, and colored lenses.

Additionally, more retro design influences include the slightly cat-eye shape where the ends of the lenses raise at the sides. Branding details can be see in the form of "BB" at the middle of the bridge. The signature "BB" branding is made from metal materials and have visible screws on the sides of the frames. It delivers protective elements in the mirrored screen lenses with UVBand 100% UVA protection.
