Wellington Frame

The silhouette of this classic style was first released all the way back in the 1950s. Since then it had multiple periods of resurgence, in the 80s, late 00s, and again today, making it a truly timeless style.

The Wellington has revolutionized the world of sunglass fashion forever. Some of them are true icons, like the Ray-Ban Wayfarer, or the Oakley Frogskins.

Premium lenses

All Shinzo Tamura frames feature premium polarized TALEX CR39 lenses, handmade in Osaka, Japan. Our light purifying filter technology is designed to block 99% of harmful UV rays and reflective light - helping you keep your eyes healthy and see clearer.

Perfect fit

The non-slip nose-pads are made from skin friendly elastomer, providing the perfect fit. Flexible titanium arms relief pressure, and give Shinzo Tamura frames a distinct and classic style.

Light & durable

Shinzo Tamura frames are perfectly balanced, ultra light, and made from non-aging nylon material, perfect for an active lifestyle. The double-molded frames are flexible, extremely durable, and do not deform.

The hinges are molded into the frame itself and benefit from the flexible and durable properties of the nylon material.

High Quality Sunglass

I took some time to research many sunglasses made in Japan. Shinzo Tamura caught my attention early on in my research. Ultimately, I chose this brand and I'm glad I did. #1 My eyes feel protected. #2 It feel fashionable. And #3 it feels comfortable. It hit all three of my needs and so the rest is history. Fantastic job to the maker.

Great pair of glasses

Great lenses and a very responsive sales experience. I would only slightly fault the sturdiness of the frame, as I would like something heavier.

Thanks for your feedback Alexandros!
You are right, our nylon frames feel somewhat different from the typical carbonate frames. The main difference is the weight, which is one of the key ingredients to better wearing comfort. Shinzo Tamura frames are very durbale and flexible. And of course ultralight. Nylon shows also less 'whitening' from UV light than other plastics, which is another reason that we prefer this material.

I recently upgraded to Shinzo Tamura sunglasses, and I'm impressed with their overall performance. The nylon frames feel robust and well-made, and the adjustable nose pads ensure a comfortable fit for my low nose bridge. The Natural Color Slate lens is a real standout, providing excellent clarity and color accuracy in various lighting conditions. However, I’m not a fan of the case. It’s a little too big for my liking. Despite this minor issue, these sunglasses are still a fantastic choice for anyone looking for quality eyewear with top-notch lens technology.

Hi Dan, thanks for the feedback. We’re glad you love our sunglasses.The case is supposed to provide a durable and secure way to carry your sunglasses in a bag or piece of luggage. But we can see how it may feel a bit bulky when carried in a jacket. We’ll forward your feedback to our design team.

These sunglasses are wonderful! Crafted with meticulous attention to detail in Japan, the quality of these shades is unmatched. The nylon frames are not only durable but also incredibly lightweight, making them comfortable to wear for extended periods. What sets these sunglasses apart is the natural color lens. It's like seeing the world in high definition. The colors are vibrant and true to life, and the lens performs exceptionally well even in the brightest sunlight. Plus, the adjustable nose pads ensure a perfect fit for any face shape. If you're looking for sunglasses that combine style, durability, and top-notch lens technology, look no further. These are worth every penny.
