The Clarity

The Clarity is a round-lens frame crafted from natural hardwood, designed for everyday wear where material quality and optical performance matter in equal measure.

• Polarised UV400 lenses
• Lightweight wood construction
• Four frame and lens combinations
• Handcrafted finish

Why We Selected This Product

Wood frames occupy a specific place in our collection — chosen not for novelty, but for what the material genuinely offers: low weight, natural warmth, and a finish that improves with wear rather than deteriorating. The Clarity was selected because it meets our optical standards first and delivers on material quality second. We evaluated the frame construction, hinge integrity, and lens specification before including it in the collection.

Key Features

• Natural hardwood construction: Each frame carries the grain character of the wood it was cut from — no two are identical
• Polarised lenses: Eliminates horizontal glare from reflective surfaces including water, glass, and road surfaces
• UV400 protection: Blocks 100% of UVA and UVB radiation up to 400nm
• Lightweight build: Wood frames typically weigh less than acetate equivalents of the same size
• Four frame and lens combinations: Ebony/Blue Mirror, Ebony/Brown, Zebrawood/Grey, Walnut/Green Mirror
• Spring hinges: Allow a comfortable, adaptive fit across different face widths

Materials

The Clarity is made from natural hardwood — ebony, zebrawood, and walnut depending on the variant selected. Each wood is chosen for its density, grain stability, and suitability for eyewear construction. Unlike synthetic frames, wood develops a natural patina over time that reflects how it is worn.

Lens Performance

• Polarisation: Yes — reduces glare from reflective horizontal surfaces
• UV protection: UV400 — blocks 100% of UVA and UVB rays
• Lens category: Pending supplier confirmation
• Lens material: Polycarbonate
• Available lens colours: Blue Mirror, Brown, Grey, Green Mirror

Comfort & Everyday Use

Wood frames are naturally lightweight, making The Clarity well suited to extended daily wear. The round lens shape sits comfortably on most face structures and works particularly well for oval, square, and heart-shaped faces. Spring hinges provide a gentle, self-adjusting fit without requiring temple adjustment.

Care & Maintenance

• Clean lenses with the included microfibre cloth — avoid paper tissues or clothing fabric
• Store in the provided hard case when not in use
• Keep away from prolonged heat, humidity, or direct water exposure — wood frames are sealed but not waterproof
• Do not place lenses face-down on hard surfaces
