Product Insights
The Le 31 Kurt Translucent Rounded Sunglasses are a $9.99 CAD entry point into Simons' in-house Le 31 line, a family-owned since 1840 house whose name traces to its Sixties menswear line, designed in Canada and sold only in Simons stores; the frame is light molded plastic specified only as plastic rather than acetate, and the title's translucent finish is out of stock, leaving one-size options in Black, White, Brown and Green. The core promise is affordable polarized glare reduction with UV blocking from separate lens chemistry at 99-100% UVA and UVB up to 400 nm, where polarization cuts glare off water, snow and pavement and reveals truer colour without adding colour of its own, strongest in bright reflective settings such as beach, snow and driving and fading indoors. The main tradeoff is lens durability and care: basic plastic lenses have no anti-scratch or anti-reflective coating, so they scratch and haze and require a microfiber cloth and hard case, while the unavailable translucent colourway means buyers choose from solid colours instead.
