About B-VI

The newest take on the B frame, the B-VI, continues to build upon that rebellious silhouette—and, in addition to the now-familiar flattened top and geometric cat-eye touches, this edition adds a sharp and distinctive, top-of-frame shielding visor, expertly carved from the thick and dense Japanese acetate that is used to craft every B-series frame. Balmain’s and Akoni Group’s mastery of jewel-like embellishment is evident in both the Balmain Monogram rivets and the signature B-Series hinge, which joins the powerful face of the frame to the substantial arms. Relying on a surprising nine links, that distinctive hinge riffs on both the celebrated savoir-faire of the Balmain Atelier and the powerful rock messaging of Olivier Rousteing.

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.
