DMY Studios Valentina Black

Valentina Black Sunglasses is DMY Studios’ oval-frame interpretation of ’90s eyewear, with DMY BY DMY’s signature restraint intact. Long part of the brand’s core lineup, Valentina remains one of its most recognisable styles. The late-’90s and early-2000s runway reference comes through in a black frame that feels clean, composed and easy to remember. The handmade frame is crafted from hypoallergenic Italian cellulose acetate by Mazzucchelli. Rather than conventional plastic, the material is derived from cotton fibres and wood pulp. Lenses with 100% UVA/UVB protection offer dependable everyday coverage, while German OBE hinges provide a precise, solid movement. Measurements are 53 mm lens width, 19 mm bridge and 135 mm temple length. In a one-size format, the proportions sit with balanced ease on most face shapes. Still not easy to come by in Turkey, Valentina reaches you through sutore after authenticity checks. Its place in the culture is quietly reinforced by admirers ranging from Kendall Jenner to Hailey Bieber. A piece that lets quiet luxury speak for itself.
