The BB0229S, front to temple tip
What you get is a curved wraparound front that follows the face. The lens is held by a full rim all the way round each lens. Across the nose there is a plain single bridge, and the nose rest is part of the frame. The supplier lists the frame material as acetate; in the photos the front has the look of injected plastic. Acetate temples complete the frame. The branding runs along the outside of the temple. Its signature is the sculpted points on lower rim edges. Colour 005 is how Balenciaga labels this version.
Reading the size
It measures 59-20-125, which is the lens width, then the bridge, then the temple length, all in millimetres. At 59 mm across the lens this is a extra large frame. If the fit needs a tweak once it arrives, any optician can adjust it; pairs ship exactly as the maker packed them.
Lens colour and finish
Lens colour: grey. Grey is the neutral tint: it dims light evenly without shifting colours. An even, flat tint. Nothing in the supplier's data says these lenses are polarized or gives a UV rating, so we say neither.
The BB0229S in other finishes
The BB0229S is also listed here as 002 (Gunmetal with silver mirror lenses). Shape and size are the same; only the finish changes.
In the box, and getting it to you
You get a new pair in Balenciaga's own box, with whatever case and cloth the brand supplies. It is packed by our supplier and shipped free anywhere in the US, usually one to two business days after the order, with a tracking number sent to you. Returns: 30 days from delivery, unworn and boxed, with the label cost taken off the refund; defects, wrong items and transit damage come back free if reported within 7 days.
