The DESPADA DS5490 gives the classic cat-eye a softer, more dimensional interpretation. The translucent brown acetate frame is shaped with a gently lifted brow and rounded lower corners, while the darker outer sections add definition to the silhouette without making it feel heavy.
A slim gold-tone metal temple construction runs through the transparent brown acetate, bringing a subtle contrast to the warm frame. The combination of translucent acetate, darkened edges and polished metal gives the design a distinctly layered look—especially visible from the side.
The matching gradient brown polarized clip-on follows the optical frame closely, turning the DS5490 into sunglasses while preserving its original cat-eye proportions. With 100% UV protection, it offers an easy transition between optical and sunwear in a single frame. DESPADA's current collection similarly emphasizes lightweight versatility and designs that are “unusual, fun, timeless.”
