Monroe Sunset
Named after the historic Monroe Street that runs through the creative heart of the Lower East Side, Monroe captures that same downtown confidence — bold, direct and impossible to ignore.
Downtown attitude, cut with precision.
Monroe is built around a chunky, squared-off silhouette with clean geometric lines that carry presence from the very first look. It is a frame designed not to blend in, but to define the face with clarity and confidence.
Crafted from sustainable black bio-acetate, Monroe reinterprets the classic wayfarer language through broader borders, sharper corners and a more architectural overall stance. The rectangular lenses are carefully proportioned to feel strong yet wearable, giving the frame that ideal balance between statement and everyday ease.
Silver accent details at the temple hinges add a restrained flash of refinement, while the softened outer edges keep the frame comfortable through long hours of wear. Monroe does not just shield the eyes — it projects confidence from Chinatown to Chelsea and well beyond.
Bold. Geometric. Unapologetically confident.
