Pink lenses in a black frame, and that’s a harder combination to wear than it sounds. The chrome hearts vagilante glasses use a heavy square acetate front with real thickness at the brow and temple, the sort that sits solidly on your face rather than perching. Lenses run a gradient, deep at the top and warm pink at the bottom, so they read tinted from below and dark from above. Gothic lettering is engraved along the inside of each arm, plus a small cross detail at the hinge. Arms are ribbed at the tips for grip.

Why Choose This Product?
Most sunglasses go dark and stop there. A pink gradient does something else. From the outside people can see your eyes through the bottom half, which reads friendlier than a full blackout lens, and from the inside the world gets warmer without going dim. The frame weight is the other part. Thin frames feel cheap in the hand no matter what they cost. This one doesn’t.
Care Instructions
Microfibre cloth only. Paper towel and shirt fabric both scratch coated lenses, and gradient coatings show scratches worse than plain ones. Rinse them under cool water first if they’re dusty, then dry with the cloth. Never leave acetate on a car dashboard, heat warps the front and the arms stop sitting straight. Keep them in the case when they’re not on your face. If the arms loosen, an optician tightens the hinge screws in a minute.

FAQs
Are these sunglasses or optical frames?
Sunglasses. They come with tinted gradient lenses fitted.
How dark are the lenses?
Dark at the top, much lighter at the bottom. People can still see your eyes from below.
Do they fit a wide face?
Yes, the front is cut wide and the arms are set well apart. Narrow faces may find them large.
Can I have prescription lenses put in?
An optician can usually swap the lenses in an acetate frame this thick. Take them in and ask first.
Are the frames heavy?
Heavier than a thin metal pair, which is part of the appeal. They sit steady rather than sliding.
