Product Insights

French Kiwis, an optical brand reborn during COVID from a 20-year heritage, offers the Nikki Cat-Eye Sunglasses as an anti-ageist statement for women 40+. The sculpted acetate frame, made from Italian Mazzucchelli acetate and assembled in Montreal, features an upswept cat-eye that lifts the face and flatters round, square, and heart shapes with a 57mm lens width. The non-polarized lenses provide 100% UV400 protection, anti-reflective and scratch-resistant coatings, preserving screen clarity but not reducing water glare. A narrow 16mm bridge can be heat-adjusted for a custom fit, and the price includes a soft case, cleaning cloth, and a 365-day guarantee at $79.95 CAD.
