Borneo Skate Blue
Description
Borneo. The third-largest island on Earth, shared by three countries and covered in a rainforest older than the Amazon.
An ebony front on arms layered in colour, pressed for strength, then shaped by hand.
Serious from the front. Less so from the side.
Polarised lenses. UV400 protection. Cat.3 filter for equatorial sun.
Born in Africa.

Care
Home is the case
Keep them in their case when they’re not on your face.
Not the back pocket
The fastest way to sit on them.
Rinse after the sea
Salt, sand and sunscreen dull the finish. Fresh water, then dry.
Not with your shirt
A shirt hem scratches. Use a microfibre cloth.
Two hands on, two off
The hinges last longer.
Don’t bend to fit
Wood cracks before it gives.
Hang ’em on the indicator
When the sun sets. A rally driver’s trick: easy to find, never scratched, never sat on.
Out of reach
Dogs and toddlers both think they’re toys.
Always wear them on a first date. You’ll do awesome.
