Sidney Shimmer | Polarised Sunglasses
$189.00
Description
Introducing the Sidney Shimmer, inspired by a classic elongated shape and finished with the signature bored·george edge. The Shimmer pairs a rich brown frame with a subtle sparkle and grey lenses - fun, but still wearable every day.
The Sidney strikes the balance between classic charm and contemporary flair. The longer, slimmer shape feels fresh and fashion-forward, while the proportions keep it easy to wear. It's the pair you reach for when you want to look a little more put-together, without trying too hard.
Designed in New Zealand. Built to last. Worn everywhere, from morning coffee runs to weekend getaways.
Why you'll love the Sidney Shimmer polarised sunglasses:
- Elongated silhouette with a modern edge
- Polarised lenses with 100% UVA/UVB protection to reduce glare and eye strain

- Premium acetate frames, a plant-based material derived from tree pulp and cotton, and a sustainable alternative to plastic
- Complies with New Zealand and Australian sunglasses standards

Wanted a new pair for the summer and Bored George is my go to. Liked the look of the Sidney Shimmer online even though it’s so hard to tell if they’re for you.. When I tried them on my boys went, “those are so cool!”. ❤️❤️❤️ Made me feel like a superhero and the compliment alone made them so worth it. Thanks ladies for such an amazing product : )

Absolutely love these sunnies! So nice to support a local NZ business, the quality really stands out. The subtle shimmer on the frames adds a lovely touch without being too much, and the shape is super flattering. Lenses are clear and easy on the eyes, perfect for sunny days. Came beautifully packaged too, felt like a little treat opening them. Highly recommend!
Thank you so much for your support Hannah! We are so glad to hear you are absolutely loving your BGs! xx
