Product Insights
The Anthony Angular Sunglasses by MESSYWEEKEND offer a Copenhagen-designed angular silhouette that adds definition to round and oval faces, with a frame span fitting wider 125–135 mm faces without pinching and long 145 mm temples reducing bounce. The block-cut acetate frame is thermally adjustable and scratch-repairable, using the same quality as luxury $250+ shades but priced at $150 CAD, while the 54 mm glass lenses provide broad, distortion-free vision with enhanced UV protection. The main tradeoff is the fixed acetate nose pads, which are hypoallergenic and metal-free but require an optician for heat adjustment, underscoring a design that prioritizes material integrity and a precise fit over convenience.
Verified claims
- Fit
- Combining the 54 mm lens width and 19 mm bridge, the total frame width is 127 mm, which fits face widths in the 125–135 mm temple-to-temple range without pinching or sliding.
- Face shape suitability
- Angular silhouette adds definition to round and oval faces.
- Temple stability
- Long 145 mm temples reduce bounce during movement.
- Frame quality
- Acetate frame is block-cut, thermally adjustable, and scratch-repairable.
- Value
- At $150 CAD, the frame uses the same acetate as luxury $250+ shades, offering strong material value.
- Lens performance
- The sunglasses provide 100% UV protection with full UVA/UVB coverage, and the 54 mm lens width gives broad sun coverage.
- Brand materials and quality
- The frame is hypoallergenic cellulose acetate cut from solid sheets, and the model is sold at Simons.
- Brand positioning
- Founded as a Copenhagen collective in 2016; now curated by Simons.
- Design signature
- Angular frame is a recurring motif across MESSYWEEKEND collections.
- Nose pads
- The nose pads are molded as part of the acetate frame (integrated) rather than independently adjustable; they are metal-free, hypoallergenic, and an optician can gently warm and tailor the bridge for a custom fit.
- Brand validation
- Simons stocks the brand; Reddit users recommend it as decent quality.
- Design identity
- Copenhagen collective origins and angular design signature define its style.
- Frame scratch repair
- The black acetate color runs through the entire frame, so minor surface scratches can be polished out and the frame re-buffed by an eyewear professional.
- Frame construction
- The frame front is cut from a solid acetate sheet and hand-finished rather than injection molded, eliminating internal molding stresses that can lead to bridge or hinge cracks.
- Frame material composition
- The frame is cellulose acetate, a cotton- and wood-pulp bio-plastic that absorbs daily stress without the fatigue cracks common in injection-molded petroleum-based plastics.
- Luxury material comparison
- The frame uses the same acetate material found in many $250+ luxury sunglasses, and at $150 CAD it resists the brittleness common in cheaper injection-molded plastics.
- Temple adjustability
- The acetate temple tips can be gently warmed and reshaped by an optician to match the contours of the ears, creating a personalized hold that reduces movement.
- Polarization
- The Anthony is not sold as a polarized model; glare reduction comes from the dark tint and 100% UV protection rather than a polarizing filter.
- Lens material
- The lens material is not consistently confirmed: retailer specs describe the lenses as high-quality anti-scratch polycarbonate, while the product detail page has noted glass; polycarbonate is the material most listings cite.
- Lens tint category
- The lenses are Category 3, a dark tint intended for bright sunlight and suited to daytime driving and general outdoor use; they are too dark for night driving or dim conditions.
- Hinges
- The frame uses 5-barrel gold metal hinges that are standard barrel hinges, not spring-loaded or molded-acetate hinges, and they are nickel-free.
- Prescription compatibility
- The Anthony is a standard two-lens acetate frame and is usually Rx-able, so an optician or a service like Lensology can reglaze it with prescription lenses.
- Lens coatings
- The lenses have an anti-scratch hard coat, but no inner anti-reflective coating is documented in the published specs.
- Activity grip
- The acetate temples have no rubberized grip and the nose pads are integrated, so most people find them comfortably snug for daily wear but they can shift during intense activity or heavy sweating; a retention strap is needed for secure sport use.
- Heat exposure
- The acetate frame softens under sustained heat above roughly 60°C (140°F), so a car dashboard on a summer day can relax the frame out of its heat-set shape; the included soft case helps but the sunglasses should not be left in direct sun inside a closed car.
