About B-V

Each succeeding generation of the B series of frames makes very clear the compelling blend of luxe and rock that distinguishes Olivier Rousteingโ€™s Balmain. Just like every B frame before it, the B-V depends upon a rebellious, no-apologies silhouette that melds together a striking straight browline, thick acetate frame and solid titanium custom hinge. Among the many subtle changes overseen by Akoni's craftsmen are slight-yet-precise lens adjustmentsโ€”which allow these statement unisex frames to create a singularly alluring geometric-yet-catโ€™s eye lift to each and every face. Most recently spotted on the diverse male and female models presenting Olivier Rousteingโ€™s Resort collection, these optical and sun designs clearly channel the signature Parisian insouciance that has always been a clear component of Balmainโ€™s spirit.

Understanding frame size

Understanding frame measurements is essential for achieving a precise fit tailored to your preferences. Thanks to a standardized system, finding the right size becomes straightforward.

When considering frame measurements, it's important to focus on three key dimensions: lens width, bridge size, and temple length, all measured in millimeters. These measurements ensure a comfortable and proportional fit that complements your unique facial features and style.

145 mm

EYE

40 - 62 MM

This eye measurement is the horizontal width of a single lens. Typically ranging from 40 to 62mm, with the average size of 49 to 51mm. For sunglasses, consider increasing your average by a minimum of two millimeters to account for the larger frames.

BRIDGE

14 - 25 MM

The bridge measurement refers to the gap between the two lenses, with sizes ranging from 14 to 24mm and the typical size falling between 18 and 21mm. For those with a narrower bridge, choosing a frame under 20mm is advisable. Frames equipped with nose pads offer adjustability, ensuring a a better and more comfortable fit.

Temple

120 - 150 MM

Temple length refers to the length of the arms that stretch towards the ears to hold the frame in place. Consider specific temple lengths if your ear placement significantly deviates from the average.The range is between 120 to 150mm, with the average adult size being between 145 and 148mm.
