Product Insights
The Lou Rectangular Sunglasses by French Kiwis use Italian Mazzucchelli acetate from $300+ frames, with a block-layered copper/rust color that resists scratch reveal and a multi-day tumbled gloss finish that withstands smudges and sunscreen. The anti-reflective back coating and UV400 lens package, typical of prescription optics, reduce eyestrain, while the heat-adjustable acetate frame is hand-assembled in Montreal. At $150, they offer premium craftsmanship and materials, but the 52mm eye width prioritizes a proportional fit over oversized trends.
