Kate Spade MARLOWE/G/S

The MARLOWE/G/S, front to temple tip

In the photos the Kate Spade MARLOWE/G/S is a cat-eye front that lifts at the outer corners. It has a full rim all the way round each lens. It rests on a plain single bridge, and the nose rest is part of the frame. Our supplier lists the frame as acetate. Acetate is the plant-based plastic that most designer frames are cut and polished from sheet; it holds deep colour and an optician can re-adjust it with heat. It has acetate temples with a metal plaque at the hinge. The colour code is 08079O, Kate Spade's own name for this finish.

The numbers on the temple

The size is 55-17-140: lens width, bridge width and temple length in millimetres. The lens width of 55 mm is large for a sunglasses frame. The pair leaves the supplier exactly as packed by the maker, so a small fit adjustment, if needed, is an optician's job.

The dark grey gradient lenses

Lens colour: dark grey gradient. Grey is the neutral tint: it dims light evenly without shifting colours. A gradient tint, darker at the top than at the bottom. Polarization and UV rating are not in the supplier's data for this pair, so neither is claimed here.

The MARLOWE/G/S in other finishes

We also carry the MARLOWE/G/S as 03H29O (Black Pink with dark grey gradient lenses), the same frame in other finishes.
