Burberry was founded in Basingstoke, England in 1856 by Thomas Burberry, whose invention of gabardine — a breathable, weatherproof fabric — established the house's enduring relationship between function and form. The eyewear collection carries that heritage directly into its hardware: the iconic Check pattern appears engraved on temple plaques, equestrian knight badges are cast in gold-tone metal, and the acetate used across the range is Italian-milled for depth of colour and structural integrity. What you're buying is a frame that communicates belonging to a very specific lineage — one that's been relevant for over 160 years.

Checked Out
She's not dressing for the occasion — she is the occasion. Burberry's oversized acetate frames, worn against salt air and open sky, belong to the person who knows that heritage isn't about looking back.

Heritage Hardware
Every Burberry eyewear frame carries a physical reference to the archive — engraved Check plaques, equestrian knights, or the interlocking TB monogram — so the provenance is literally written on the frame.
02
Italian Acetate
The acetate used across Burberry's optical and sun ranges is Italian-milled, which means richer colour saturation, greater structural density, and a polished finish that holds its surface over years of wear.
03
Scale Done Right
Burberry consistently produces oversized silhouettes that actually flatter — the geometry is considered enough that frames that photograph as statement pieces sit naturally on a wide range of face shapes.

Yes. All sunglasses sold at Sunglass Style provide full UV400 protection — meaning they block 100% of UVA and UVB rays up to 400 nanometres. That's the highest level of UV protection available, and it applies across the entire range regardless of lens type. New Zealand has some of the highest UV radiation levels in the world, so this matters more here than in many other countries. Whether you're choosing a light gradient tint or a dark polarised lens, the UV protection is always the same: full UV400.

Square and rectangular frames suit oval, heart, and diamond face shapes well, as the defined corners add structure where the face naturally tapers. If you have a stronger jaw or square face, consider rounder or oval silhouettes that soften strong jaw lines — an oversized aviator silhouette will complement proportions without losing presence. Of course, face shape is a starting point, not a rule — the best frame is the one that feels like you. Colour, personal style, and confidence all matter as much as geometry. The luxury eyewear range at Sunglass Style is wide enough to suit everything from understated elegance to full glamour. If you're shopping in store, our team can help you work through the options. If you're buying online at sunglassstyle.co.nz, we offer refunds on purchases that don't work for you — so you can try with confidence.
