You'll wear it like a neutral. The Kylie Merlot is a modern homage to retro glamour; a soft-edged oval frame in deep wine red, polished and playfully nostalgic in equal measure - now with clear lenses, made for screens rather than sunshine.

Designed in New Zealand. Built to last. Worn everywhere, from the morning inbox to back-to-back meetings to the last scroll of the night.

Why you'll love the Kylie Merlot

• Soft oval silhouette with rounded edges - a gentler shape that flatters angular and heart-shaped faces especially well
• Blue light filtering lenses, designed to cut screen glare and help ease the eye strain that comes with long days at the desk
• Clear lenses made for indoors - wearable all day, on camera or off
• Lightweight acetate frames for comfort you can forget you're wearing
• Premium acetate, a plant-based material derived from tree pulp and cotton, and a sustainable alternative to plastic
• Rich merlot colourway with natural depth and variation in the acetate, so no two pairs are quite the same
• Designed in New Zealand by a small, women-led team

Also available with prescription lenses. Or as polarised sunglasses.

The oval blue light glasses trend, and why Kylie works

The oval frame is having its moment again, and for good reason. After years of hard angles and sharp corners, a softer shape can be easier to wear and kinder on most faces. The Kylie takes that seventies oval and modernises it: slimmer, cleaner, less novelty and more wardrobe staple. Merlot is what makes it interesting. It's warm and deep enough to sit alongside black and tan like a neutral, but it lifts a plain outfit the second the light hits it.

Size & fit

The Kylie Merlot is part of our Kylie family. If you love the oval shape in a different tone, Kylie also comes in Espresso and Black.
