Oliver Goldsmith Winter Sun

Oliver Goldsmith’s Winter Sun collection feature very lightly tinted lenses. While the collection may be quite new, the roots of these unique frames lie in a concept originally designed in 1969. Previously known as ‘cosmetic lenses’ the subtle tint offers gentle protection from the sun’s rays or also to remove the brightness of interior lights, ideal for long days sat at your computer. The Pelota is new to the collection. Slightly upswept, with a touch of mod, it is a cracker of a frame.
