Sahara Walnut
Description
Sahara. Nine million square kilometres of sand, and somehow still the first word anyone reaches for when they picture a desert.
Walnut, warm and unmistakable, grained like the dune lines it's named for.
The original. The one every other frame in this collection is quietly trying to live up to.
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.
