Kylie Merlot | Polarised Sunglasses

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.

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 polarised sunglasses:

• Soft oval silhouette with rounded edges — a gentler shape that flatters angular and heart-shaped faces especially well
• Polarised UV400 lenses with 100% UVA/UVB protection to reduce glare and eye strain
• Category 3 UV protection, perfect for driving, beach days, and high-glare environments
• Premium acetate frames, 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
• Complies with New Zealand and Australian sunglasses standards (AS/NZS 1067)
• Designed in New Zealand by a small, women-led team

Also available with prescription lenses. See prescription lens options and pricing here. Or Blue Light Lenses. 

The oval sunglasses 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. 

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.
