Product Insights
Jimmy Fairly's Freja Rectangular Sunglasses at 99.95 CAD are a lightweight cellulose-acetate, small-to-medium rectangular frame (true front width about 129–133 mm, not oversized) that provides 100% UVA and UVB protection through a Category 1 tint (43–80% VLT), so the core promise is a clear, comfortable, angular everyday pair with in-house lenses that scored top in blind tests for clarity and water- and grease-resistance, color dyed through the acetate so it will not chip or flake, a 45 mm lens height that shades the eye without reaching the upper cheek, and a 15–35% plasticizer content that lets the temple yield softly to the head; it suits round and oval faces, is produced in China then assembled and hand-checked in France, uses RENEW acetate that is 60% recycled, 40% biobased and fully recyclable, recycles 95% of production waste in a 100% paperless lab, and donates one pair of glasses per order through RestoringVision since 2011, but the main tradeoff is that the Category 1 tint is best for overcast, golden hour and indoor light rather than full sun and gives only limited sunglare protection, with further fit and durability caveats: no nose pads on the 21 mm bridge, so a narrow nose shifts pressure to the temples; adjustment requires heat-bending the acetate temple rather than the hinge; a hot car can relax the acetate out of shape though an optician can re-heat and refit it; the fixed five-point metal hinge is not spring-loaded; it is sold non-polarized although polarized, prescription and coloured lens configurations exist in 10 colours; store in the supplied case and clean with mild soapy water rather than acetone solvents; and it is a limited-edition capsule in stock now but turning over monthly.
Verified claims
- UV protection
- 100% UVA and UVB protection despite the light Category 1 tint.
- Tint
- Category 1 tint (43-80% VLT), best for overcast, golden hour and indoor light, not full sun.
- Glare protection
- ISO Category 1 tint gives only limited protection from sunglare
- Lightweight construction
- Lightweight acetate frame that sits light on the bridge, not titanium-light
- Comfort
- 15-35% plasticizer in the acetate makes the temple yield softly to the head
- Heat distortion
- A hot car can relax the acetate frame out of shape, but an optician can re-heat and refit it
- Front width
- True front width is roughly 129-133 mm, a small-to-medium fit, not oversized.
- Nose bridge fit
- No nose pads, so a 21 mm bridge that overreaches a narrow nose shifts pressure to the temples.
- Lens height
- The 45 mm lens height shades the eye but stops short of the upper cheek.
- Face shape
- Rectangular lens adds angular definition that suits round and oval faces.
- Frame adjustment
- Fit adjustment means heat-bending the acetate temple, not the hinge
- Polarization
- Sold non-polarized; polarised, prescription and coloured lens configurations are available in 10 colours.
- Lens quality
- In-house lenses scored top in blind tests for clarity and water- and grease-resistance
- Care and longevity
- Store in the supplied case and clean with mild soapy water, not acetone solvents that dissolve acetate.
- Color durability
- Color is dyed through the acetate, not coated, so it won't chip or flake at the edges.
- Hinge
- Fixed five-point metal hinge, not spring-loaded, rated for strong handling resistance
- Manufacturing origin
- Produced in China, then assembled and hand-checked in France.
- Recycled acetate
- Cellulose acetate frame; the brand's RENEW acetate is 60% recycled, 40% biobased and fully recyclable.
- Production waste
- Factory recycles 95% of production waste and runs a 100% paperless lab.
- Donation
- Every order donates one pair of glasses via RestoringVision since 2011
- Limited edition
- In stock now, but a limited-edition capsule that turns over monthly

| Freja Rectangular Sunglasses: Choose this if you want lightweight, comfortable cellulose acetate sunglasses in a glossy tortoiseshell finish with rectangular-rounded lenses and warm peach-tinted lenses.

Note they carry a Level 1 UV protection rating, which the merchant characterizes as perfect for partly sunny days, so consider them more for mild sun than intense exposure.[5,6] |
