Bernardo - Black with Midnight Express Polarized Lens
This is probably my favorite out of the entire collection as it combines the classic keyhole bridge but then features a very contemporary square frame. The slim design is so versatile that the frame can be used as either a Sunglass or as an Optical frame.

As part of their limited edition collection ‘Super’ have released the ‘Vincenzo’ sunglasses which is an alternate of their ‘People’ frame. It’s really exciting to see Super paying tribute to vintage styles and processes.
“We are excited to tell you that the VINCENZO are handcrafted using a long-forgotten technique from the ‘70s that combines havana and tortoise acetates, lending authentic old-school kudos to these beauties. Chic Havana Classic is seamlessly blended with a fierce Puma acetate on both the arms and bridge of the model, updating the technique and giving it a current, bold feel.The delicate gold plaques at the front and on the arms nicely catch the light to subtly twinkle against the Havana Classic acetate.
As with all of our products, VINCENZO is handcrafted meticulously in Italy, using only top-drawer materials and Zeiss lenses for indisputable quality and un-rivalled UV protection.”
