Product Insights
Saint Laurent's Ultra-Narrow Cat-Eye Sunglasses (485 CAD, in stock) are the most compact narrow cat-eye in the brand's range, with a 51mm lens and 140mm temples designed for smaller features. The lightweight acetate frame prevents top-heavy sensation, and the cat-eye shape suits oval, heart, and diamond faces, though the ultra-narrow fit may be too snug for wider facial structures. Crafted from Italian-made acetate with precision hinges, the frame offers Category 3 UV protection (blocks 82–92% visible light) and features printed SAINT LAURENT branding on the temples. Authenticity hinges on Italian hand-finishing and case design, as serial codes are unreliable and counterfeit versions exist. Buyers must verify the model number to avoid the cheaper women's version with identical appearance, which costs over $100 less.

It's the women's version, but it's more than 100 USD cheaper. The only thing is, I can't find the difference
