Salt. Hillier

SALT. Hillier is the cateye sunglass kept honest: classically chic silhouette, Japanese acetate, polarized glass or CR-39 already in the chassis. SALT. traces a touch of inspiration to the beaches of Monaco — soft lift and subtle drama. We sell it as a 55 mm cateye sun with a 19 mm bridge, not a wrap.
