The neutral you didn’t know you were missing. The Kylie Espresso is a modern homage to retro glamour; a soft-edged oval frame in deep coffee brown, 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 Espresso:
- 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
- Deep espresso brown acetate with natural depth and variation, 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
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. Espresso is where it gets easy. A deep, warm brown does everything black does, but with less contrast against your skin and a little more softness - the neutral you didn’t know you were missing.
The Kylie Espresso is part of our Kylie family. If you love the oval shape in a different tone, Kylie also comes in Merlot and Black.
