The AL in Black/Brown by Thistles is a voluminous rectangular frame, soft at the curve, bold at the edge. A modern nod to the oversized glamour, with a touch of 90s attitude. This silhouette can sit high across the brow or rest lower on the nose for a more relaxed feel. Confident, refined, and endlessly wearable. Crafted from premium cellulose acetate, a plant-based material made from cotton and wood pulp, with durable five-barrel hinges and CR-39 lenses offering full UV protection. Each pair is handcrafted with care.
