Kirk Originals Dark Tortoiseshell "Erno" Handmade Sunglasses

With Brutalist design features, the Erno frame was born in West London in the shadow of Trellick Tower. This is the sharpest frame we’ve ever created thanks to its squared oval shape frame front and paddle arms that were worn by some of the early 20th century’s greatest minds.
