Deep Research
How flexible temples improve daily wear
- The decision to offer the Zoe in a single 'ONE SIZE' rests entirely on the flexible temple design, which allows the 55 mm eye width and 145 mm temple to accommodate a wider range of head circumferences than a rigid frame would — making online ordering less of a gamble for wearers whose head width falls outside the narrowest default band.
- Mazzucchelli cellulose acetate has anchored premium Italian eyewear since 1849 because its plant-based composition stays pliable over decades instead of turning brittle like injection-molded plastics — meaning the flexible temples here retain their adaptive give for the lifespan of the frame, not just the first season of wear.

Q&A
3 answered- What is the exact UV rating (e.g., UV400) and does it block UVA and UVB?
- The lenses offer 100% UV protection, which typically corresponds to UV400 rating, blocking both UVA and UVB rays. While the listing does not explicitly state 'UV400', 100% UV protection is the standard for full UV blockage.
- What type of polarized filter is used (linear or circular) and is it suitable for viewing LCD screens?
- The type of polarized filter (linear vs. circular) is not specified. Most polarized sunglasses use linear polarization, which can cause LCD screens to appear dark or distorted at certain angles. We cannot confirm if this model uses a different filter type.
- What specific care instructions are recommended for the Mazzucchelli Italian acetate frame and scratch-resistant lenses?
- For the Mazzucchelli Italian acetate frame, we recommend cleaning with a mild soap and water solution and avoiding exposure to extreme heat or chemicals. For the scratch-resistant lenses, use a microfiber cloth and lens cleaner. A cleaning cloth is included with the purchase.
