David Beckham Eyewear launched in 2012 as a collaboration between Beckham and the Safilo Group, one of Europe's largest licensed eyewear manufacturers with production roots in the Dolomite region of Italy. The range is defined by double-bridge metal aviator constructions, high-gloss Italian acetate fronts with signature gold DB hardware at the temple hinge, and lens tints drawn directly from Beckham's personal wardrobe palette. These are frames that sit at the intersection of professional sport heritage and genuine fashion credibility — the kind of eyewear that works as hard in a boardroom as it does on a yacht.

The Story
The Frame
Behind
The Face
The David Beckham customer knows exactly what they want — presence without effort, quality that reads across a room, and a silhouette that works from a Saturday morning coffee to a flight lounge in any timezone. These frames were designed the same way Beckham approaches his wardrobe: with a clear point of view, no wasted details, and an understanding that the best pieces earn their place every single time you reach for them.
View All StylesWhy We Love It
Three Reasons
To Choose DB
01
Italian Acetate Quality
The high-gloss acetate used across the DB range is cut and polished in Italy, giving the frames a depth of colour and edge definition that injected plastic cannot replicate — you can see and feel the difference the moment you hold one.
02
Gold Hardware Signature
Every frame carries the gold DB monogram and hinge hardware as a deliberate design element, not an afterthought — the same quiet signalling you get from a great watch, visible only to those who know what they're looking at.
03
Double Bridge Authority
The double-bridge metal construction references vintage pilot frames from the 1960s and 70s — updated proportions for a contemporary face, which is why they wear larger and bolder without tipping into costume territory.
Everything You Need To Know About David Beckham
-
Sunglass Style is New Zealand's leading authorised luxury eyewear stockist, with the exquisite, curated collections available in our premium stores and online at sunglassstyle.co.nz. Buying from an authorised retailer means you get genuine frames, full manufacturer warranty, and access to the correct replacement lenses and repair services. All Sunglass Style stock is held in New Zealand — online orders are dispatched same day via NZ Post with overnight delivery. Same-day delivery is also available for eligible addresses.
-
David Beckham sunglasses at Sunglass Style NZ are priced from $379 to $499, placing them firmly in the premium designer category alongside comparable frames from Saint Laurent and Tom Ford. That price reflects genuine Italian manufacture, Safilo Group production standards, and the full Sunglass Style authorised retailer guarantee — which means correct warranty, authentic frames, and access to manufacturer lens and repair services in New Zealand.
-
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.
-
When you buy from Sunglass Style, authenticity is guaranteed. We purchase exclusively from brand manufacturers and authorised distributors — so every frame in our stores and on our website is 100% genuine. All sunglasses come in original branded packaging and with relevant documentation. If you ever have any concerns, our team is happy to help. Buying from an unauthorised third-party seller or marketplace carries real risk — grey market and counterfeit eyewear is common, and often undetectable without expertise. Purchasing from an authorised stockist like Sunglass Style is the only way to guarantee you're getting the real thing, along with the correct manufacturer warranty and access to legitimate repair and lens services in New Zealand.
