Key specifications include an eye width of 53 mm, a bridge of 19 mm, and a temple length of 145 mm, with the frame made in Japan. Reviews indicate the lenses are non-polarized and made of plastic, so these are primarily a fashion accessory rather than for high-glare outdoor use.","url":"https://www.simons.ca/en/men-designer/accessories/sunglasses/rectangular-sunglasses--20431-158790?colourId=0","brand":"Saint Laurent","condition":"new","product_category":"men designer > accessories > sunglasses","material":"Frame: Acetate, metal; Lenses: Nylon","age_group":"adult","image_url":"https://imagescdn.simons.ca/images/20431/158790/29/A1_2.jpg","additional_image_urls":[],"images":[{"id":"img-1784702989428-0","url":"https://imagescdn.simons.ca/images/20431/158790/29/A1_2.jpg","alt_text":"Rectangular sunglasses product image (primary)","position":1,"attributes":{"other":{"summary":"Studio product shot on a light gray background with soft shadow beneath the sunglasses; three-quarter frontal camera angle and even diffuse lighting.","observations":[{"key":"Background and surface","kind":"feature","value":"Uniform pale light-gray studio background and surface with a soft drop shadow beneath and slightly to the right of the sunglasses.","regions":[],"evidence_status":"direct"},{"key":"Shot composition","kind":"feature","value":"Three-quarter front view of the sunglasses, centered in the lower half of the frame with empty space above.","regions":[],"evidence_status":"direct"},{"key":"Lighting","kind":"feature","value":"Diffuse, even studio lighting producing soft reflections on plastic surfaces and minimal harsh shadows.","regions":[],"evidence_status":"direct"}]},"colors":[{"name":"transparent pale gray","part":"frame","regions":[{"x":0.12,"y":0.46,"width":0.62,"height":0.28,"confidence":"high"}],"subject":"product","description":"Clear/transparent glossy plastic frame appearing very pale gray under studio lighting.","estimated_hex":"#F2F5F7"},{"name":"brown gradient","part":"lenses","regions":[{"x":0.14,"y":0.5,"width":0.28,"height":0.24,"confidence":"high"},{"x":0.42,"y":0.5,"width":0.28,"height":0.24,"confidence":"high"}],"subject":"product","description":"Brown gradient tint darker at the top and fading to a lighter brown at the bottom with a smooth transition.","estimated_hex":"#A67C4A"},{"name":"warm brown","part":"temple tips","regions":[{"x":0.56,"y":0.46,"width":0.28,"height":0.12,"confidence":"high"},{"x":0.06,"y":0.34,"width":0.18,"height":0.12,"confidence":"medium"}],"subject":"product","description":"Warm medium brown at the curved temple tips and along the distal temple gradient.","estimated_hex":"#9A6B3A"}],"product":{"summary":"Rectangular sunglasses shown in a three-quarter front view with a transparent clear frame, brown gradient lenses, and translucent temples that darken to brown at the tips.
