Product Insights
Meller's Kubu Round Sunglasses, priced at 98 CAD and in stock, feature 50mm round frames that soften square jawlines, a 22mm bridge for wider noses, and 142mm temples for a forward-balanced 130g weight that reduces fatigue. Made from bio-based acetate and cellulose propionate, the hygroscopic frame must be dried after moisture to maintain fit and avoid hinge stress, and should be kept away from hand sanitizer, rain, and dashboard heat to prevent warping. The lenses meet ANSI Z80.3 and EN ISO 12312-1 standards, include permanent UV400 protection, and can be replaced with prescription lenses by any optician or purchased ready-made from Meller for many colorways.
