Description
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 made up with your prescription.
Designed in New Zealand. Built to last. Worn everywhere, from the morning walk to long lunches to the drive home.
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
- Clear prescription lenses, glazed to your script, in the frame you actually want to wear
- 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 blue light lenses. Or as polarised sunglasses.
The oval prescription frame, 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.
