Signature Szade; meet Bates — a small, slick rectangular frame with sharp edges and clean lines. This dark tortoiseshell sunglass with gradient brown lenses takes cues from the classic wayfarer but reimagines it with modern proportions. Bates is an essential square-rectangle everyday frame, flattering to all face shapes and designed to elevate any outfit.

From pencil to prototype, every Szade frame begins as a sketch and evolves through meticulous craftsmanship. Each design passes through stages of inspiration, technical drawing, 3D prototyping, and precision moulding before colours, patterns, and finishes are perfected.

Every pair is hand-assembled, edge-finished, polished, and inspected to ensure flawless fit and comfort. Months of research, development, and refinement culminate in sunglasses that embody the spirit of luxury while feeling effortless enough for everyday wear.
