Seconds & Samples - Each pair has a minor cosmetic flaw - a small mark, a light scratch, or a slight variation in the frame, or even better, just been used in a photoshoot once! The exact fault is noted next to the specific pair you choose. Same lenses, same UV protection, same bored·george quality, for a lot less. Because they’re one-offs, seconds & samples are final sale: no returns or exchanges.

The Rhia is the cat-eye that’s been quietly stealing the show at bored·george for years. A proper classic, the shape lifts your features and makes it look like you’ve made an effort (even when you haven’t).

Warm tortoiseshell, and no two pairs are quite the same, so yours is one of a kind. Designed in New Zealand, built to last, and worn everywhere from the school run to the beach to date night.

Why you’ll love the Rhia Tort:

• Classic cat-eye shape that suits almost every face
• Polarised UV400 lenses with 100% UVA/UVB protection to cut glare and eye strain
• Category 3 UV protection - perfect for driving, beach days, and bright glare
• Premium acetate frames, a plant-based material made from tree pulp and cotton (a proper alternative to plastic)
• Warm tortoiseshell pattern, unique to every pair
• Complies with NZ and Australian sunglasses standards (AS/NZS 1067)
• Designed in New Zealand by a small, women-led team

Love the Rhia but want something a bit more low-key? It also comes in Black.
