A big, confident seventies square named for the valley where acetate framing was perfected. Thick brow, soft corners, and enough lens to disappear behind.

  • Polarised CR-39 lenses with full coverage and zero glare
  • Thick-cut acetate that holds its line for years
Frame & lenses
Hand-polished Italian-design acetate front and temples, aged-gold five-barrel hinges, polarised CR-39 lenses with 100% UVA/UVB protection. Wipe with the included cloth; keep in the case when not on your face.
Fit & sizing
A medium-wide frame with a strong brow. Suits square and oval faces; the soft corners keep it from reading severe. Measured 53 mm lens · 19 mm bridge · 145 mm temple.

The acetate

Cut thick the way seventies frames were, from layered acetate descending from the Cadore framing tradition of northeast Italy.

The hinges

Five-barrel hinges in aged gold, anchored deep in the acetate so the temples never loosen into a wobble.

Exactly the linen I wanted. Washed soft out of the box and the collar sits open without a tie. Wore it three days running in Charleston heat.

Heavier than I expected, in a good way. Proper acetate, not the thin stuff. The polarised lenses make a real difference on the water.

Better knit than I expected. Holds its shape after a wash and the collar has not curled once. Size up if you want it loose.

No break-in at all. Wore them straight out of the box for a full day walking. Suede has softened nicely since.

Arrived like a gift. Boxed with tissue and a ribbon, which is not what I expected at this price. Bought a second one a week later.

Sizing runs true. Took my usual and it landed right. The size guide is actually accurate, which saved me a return.

George Andelli presentation box and leather case
In the box

A case worth keeping.

A rigid presentation box, a magnetic leather-finish case, and a gold-embossed microfibre cloth. Packaging that survives gifting — nothing in a plastic pouch.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Are these polarised?
Yes. Polarised CR-39 lenses with 100% UVA/UVB protection are standard on every George Andelli frame — including this one.
How do I know the fit is right?
Check the measured fit above — lens, bridge, temple in millimetres — against a pair you own. Most men wear a 50–57mm lens; the fit guide on this page tells you where this frame sits.
Can I get prescription lenses fitted?
These are sun-only frames and we don't offer Rx lenses, but any good optician can refit most of our acetate frames with prescription sun lenses if you want to.
How should I look after them?
Wipe with the included cloth, rinse salt spray off with fresh water, and keep them in the case — acetate dislikes hot dashboards more than it dislikes anything else.
What if they don't suit me?
Thirty days from delivery, in original condition with the case and packaging, full refund. Details on the Returns & Refunds page.
