About this piece

Bold. Dramatic. Made for sunshine. Minette is an unapologetically chunky and perfectly oversized a frame that doesn’t just complete the outfit, it defines it. From long, golden hours on the sand to sun-drenched brunch tables with friends, Minette brings instant main-character energy thanks to an undeniable vintage Hollywood flair.  This medium-large frame provides great coverage for larger heads, and works great as an oversize look on smaller faces as well.  Coverage: Good Wrap & Angle: Low Temple Width: 150mm Bridge Width: 22mm Lens Width: 53mm Minette features Helio polarized polycarbonate lenses that block 100% of UVA/UVB/UV400 wavelengths and pass the FDA basic impact test.
