New Depp Round Sunglasses

The MESSYWEEKEND New Depp Round Sunglasses offer a style-forward urban accessory at $150 CAD—roughly half the cost of comparable RAEN frames—by sacrificing polarization and fit adjustability (no spring hinges or adjustable nose pads), making them best for everyday wear rather than driving or water use, yet they include a rigid gift box and soft case, a packaging kit that competitors typically reserve for $240+ frames.

Polarization

Non-polarized lenses; best for everyday urban wear, not for driving or water.

Why this is supported

A brand Q&A confirms:

No, the lenses are not polarized. The New Depp sunglasses feature standard lenses with 100% UV protection, but they are not designed to reduce glare like polarized lensesAre the lenses polarized?

— so they are better suited for everyday urban wear than for driving or water activities where glare reduction is important.

Fit adjustability

The frame lacks adjustable nose pads and spring hinges.

Why this is supported
