Product Insights
Le Specs' Velodrome Angular Cat-Eye Sunglasses combine upcycled material science with a sculptural silhouette. The BPA-free frame, made with 10% plant-derived biomass, offers double the impact toughness of standard polystyrene and an 860 J/m impact strength, yet remains virtually weightless. Designed for oval, heart, and round faces, the 145mm temples provide a secure fit behind the ears, with a smooth temple that prevents hair snag. The tradeoff is fit: it accommodates standard-to-narrow faces securely but may be tight on wide ones. The fixed pinstripe metal inlay temples preserve the angular cat-eye shape but sacrifice head-width flexibility. Lenses provide UV protection but are not polarized and require gentle cleaning to avoid scratching, despite a scratch-resistant coating. At $80 and often on sale at David Jones, it delivers value through premium materials and design, with a core promise of lightweight durability and a distinctive aesthetic.
