Product Insights
Otra's Alba Oversized Square Sunglasses, worn by Kylie Jenner and Beyoncé, offer a plant-based, hypoallergenic acetate frame that can be professionally heat-adjusted for a custom fit, balancing heart-shaped faces and emphasizing square-faced angularity. The 55mm lens width approaches oversized for varied sizes, while UV400 category 3 tint blocks 82–92% of visible light for glare reduction and is legally approved for driving in the UK and EU. However, the frame requires careful care—avoid heat above 60°C and solvents, store in the case, and clean only with a dry microfiber cloth and mild soap—to maintain its scratch-resistant coating and durability.

- 55mm eye width approaches oversized threshold, suiting varied face sizes.

- Material
- Acetate frame is plant-based, hypoallergenic, with integral color.
- Heat care
- Storing the acetate frame in the included soft case when not worn protects it from deformation from heat above 60°C.
- Cleaning
- Acetate frame is sensitive to alcohol, oils, and sunscreen; safe cleaning is with a damp microfiber and mild soap.
- UV protection
- Level 3 UV rating means 100% UVA/UVB blocking up to 400 nm (UV400).
- Driving legality
- Category 3 tint is the darkest legally approved for driving in the UK and EU.
- Glare reduction
- Blocks 82–92% of visible light, reducing glare while preserving colour accuracy.
- Scratch resistance
- Scratch-resistant coating mitigates micro-scratches from cleaning and daily handling, preserving optical clarity and keeping the lenses looking new longer.
- Size and face fit
- The 55mm eye size sits just below the 56mm threshold for 'large' sunglasses, providing oversized front coverage; the square frame balances heart-shaped faces and emphasizes square jaw and brow angularity.
- Frame composition
- The acetate frame is derived from cotton and wood fibers rather than petroleum, making it naturally hypoallergenic and unlikely to cause skin irritation.
