Designhub Old School Round Hip Hop Glasses — Flat Gold

The Designhub Old School Round Hip Hop Glasses reference the circular wire-frame gold glasses that became a hip hop staple from the early 1990s through the golden era, immortalized by legendary artists whose aesthetic blended street authenticity with a studious, intellectual cool. The thin wire frame is constructed from stainless steel wire formed into two perfect 48mm diameter circles with a double-bar saddle bridge, plated in matte gold for a vintage rather than flashy finish that reads as authentic rather than costume. The temple wires taper to thin tips with small gold-ball tips — the traditional detail of the vintage rounded frame. The lenses are 48mm diameter flat-cut polycarbonate in yellow-tinted amber, the classic warm lens color of 90s hip hop eyewear that provides a modest category 1 sun protection suitable for indoor and low-light wearing — consistent with the style’s origin as a fashion statement rather than sun protection. UV400 coating is applied to the amber lens surface. Supplied in a slim hinged metal tin with a felt insert. Wire gauge: 1.2mm. Temple length: 142mm. Bridge: 20mm.
