Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Documenta Sunglasses: Choose this if you want oversized, square-shaped sunglasses with a bold avant-garde look, featuring a glossy black one-piece shield front with wide, thick temples and dark smoke grey nylon lenses. The acetate frame measures 60 mm eye width, a 15 mm bridge, and 135 mm temples, offers UVA and UVB protection with a Level 3 rating suited for sunny days, and comes with a signature leather case; it is made in Italy. Note that the bridge is an integrated cutout rather than separate nose pads, and it is offered in a single ONE SIZE black variant, so fit depends on the stated measurements.[1,2] | Rev Visor Sunglasses: Choose this if you want an oversized, square visor-style design from Rick Owens' collaboration with musician Martin Rev, featuring a single shield lens, beveled acetate frame with a modular exaggerated top bar, wide angled temples, and 100% UV protection. This black, one-size variant offers an approximate 80 mm eye width, 22 mm bridge, and 122 mm temples with polycarbonate lenses in a neutral gray gradient tint, and comes with a signature leather case, cleaning cloth, and designer box; note it is made in Italy in a high-gloss black finish.[3,4,5] | Fog Sunglasses: Choose these for an avant-garde aesthetic, featuring a unique linear design that gives a futuristic vibe and a low-profile wraparound silhouette. They are constructed from high-gloss black acetate and are made in Italy, though the design includes an integrated single-piece bridge with no separate nose pads.[6,7] |
