Product Insights
KOMONO's Gloria Rectangular Sunglasses, priced at 125 CAD, blend Antwerp design heritage with sustainable innovation: frames are bioplastic from castor oil, biodegradable in five years, and lenses block 100% UVA/UVB while being safe for variable-light driving due to Category 1 tint that preserves color perception and keeps wearers' eyes visible. The classic rectangle silhouette is slightly cat-eyed and slimmed, available in solid black, taupe, or amber shell with tortoiseshell pattern (only the amber variant has light brown lenses for enhanced eye visibility). The 17 mm bridge and 150 mm temples fit most adults, but very narrow or wide nose bridges may not suit.
Verified claims
- Brand heritage
- KOMONO was founded in 2009 and comes out of the Antwerp fashion ecosystem that launched the Antwerp Six; the brand collaborates with the Royal Academy of Fashion.
- Silhouette
- The Gloria is a classic rectangle with slightly cat-eyed and slimmed down features.
- Material
- Frame is bioplastic (G850 bio nylon) made from castor oil, biodegradable in about five years.
- Fit
- The 17 mm bridge and 150 mm temples fit most adults, but may not suit very narrow or wide nose bridges.
- Light conditions suitability
- Category 1 tint is suited to partly sunny and variable-light conditions, preserving colour perception and eye visibility while remaining safe for daylight driving.
- Colorway styles
- Black and taupe are solid; amber shell has a tortoiseshell pattern.
- Lens tint
- Only the amber shell has light brown lenses, making eyes more visible than other variants.
- Eye visibility
- Wearer's eyes remain clearly visible through the light tint.
- Design
- Antwerp design pedigree with a cat-eye-tinged silhouette at a fraction of comparable designer cat-eye prices.
- Driving safety
- Legal for all daylight driving while preserving color and hazard visibility.
- UV protection
- Despite light tint, lenses block 100% UVA/UVB rays.
- Frame sustainability
- The frame is made from G850 bio nylon, a castor oil-based polymer that reduces fossil fuel dependency and biodegrades in landfill within about five years.
- Light transmission
- The Category 1 tint absorbs 20–60% of visible light, cutting glare on partly sunny days while preserving colour perception when clouds thicken.
- Face shape fit
- At 54 mm across, the Gloria runs narrower than many oversized cat-eyes and suits smaller features; the rectangular cut adds angular definition for round faces.
- Full sun comfort
- The lenses provide 100% UV protection, but for bright full sun a higher tint category such as Category 3 is recommended for visual comfort.

Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Gloria Rectangular Sunglasses: Choose this if you want a lightweight, comfortable pair of slim rectangular sunglasses for everyday wear on partly sunny days: the bioplastic frame has slightly upswept corners, and the scratch-resistant lenses provide 100% UV protection at a Level 1 rating, which suits milder sun rather than intense exposure. They come in black or taupe in one size (54 mm eye width, 17 mm bridge, 150 mm temples) and include a soft case and cleaning cloth. If sustainability matters to you, the frames use G850 bio nylon—a castor oil-based polymer—and the source states these sunglasses break down in five years, though conditions for that breakdown are not specified.[1,2,3] | Margot Angular Oval Sunglasses: Choose this if you want lightweight, comfortable everyday sunglasses with full sun protection: the bioplastic frame has an angular oval shape with a tortoiseshell pattern and green lenses, and the polycarbonate lenses are scratch-resistant with UV400, Category 3 protection the retailer describes as perfect for sunny days. A soft case (or pouch) and cleaning cloth are included, and the product comes with a 2-year warranty. Note it is offered in one size only, with an eye width of 54 mm, a 15 mm bridge, and 145 mm temples, so check those measurements against your fit.[4,5,6,7] | Serena Square Sunglasses: Choose this if you want a lightweight, comfortable bioplastic frame with a bold square silhouette described as an easy-going but bold cat eye look, featuring a translucent tortoiseshell front with green-tinted rectangular lenses. The lenses provide 100% UV protection with a Level 3 rating, and a soft case and cleaning cloth are included. Note it comes in one size only (eye width 54 mm, bridge 20 mm, temple 145 mm) in the taupe colorway, so check that the fit works for you.[8,9,10] |
