Glitter sunglasses, done properly
Most glitter sunglasses feel novelty. The Piper Shimmer isn’t most sunglasses. The shimmer is embedded in the acetate itself, not a coating or a print, which means it lasts and it reads as premium rather than plastic. The oversized cat-eye shape grounds the sparkle in something grown-up and wearable, so you can bring a little shine to everyday outfits without feeling dressed up. Perfect for anyone who thinks accessories should have a bit of personality.
The Piper Shimmer is our regular-size cat-eye. If you love the cat-eye look but want a different colour, the Piper family also comes in Tort, Black, and Purple.
