Manhattan

Absolute Perfection

So impressed with the style, comfort and craftsmanship of the Manhattan Sunglasses! I had a difficult time deciding between the Black or the Tortoiseshell, finally opting for the Black. As for many others, Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s was the inspiration for my interest. According to everything I’ve read, the sunglasses in the film were actually Tortoiseshell, but in my mind’s eye they’ve always coded as Black, perhaps because it seemed like the more likely choice with a Black evening gown and pearls. I have a smaller face, and the smaller size is just perfect. I worried that perhaps they would be too small to convey the oversized sunglasses look, but not so at all. I love the Sunglasses so much, I do have plans to purchase the Tortoiseshell as well!

truly iconic manhattan

bought the manhattan in black, wonderful glasses, the shape, material, style! glad about the option of smaller frame as the standard ones were quite large indeed. the return was no problem.
